How I Overcame the Silence

You may be wondering, why I would have to overcome
silence. Well, when it is really quiet, you hear things from
inside you. For me, it was ringing in my ears. I just thought
that I would suffer eternally, without any relief.

But, I was wrong, in a way. As I got older, the night time silence
has gone missing. There are radios, car engines, sirens, and more; that keep me from silence. Growing older only made me numb
to the ringing.

I still have the ringing in my ears, but without the silence, it is
hardly noticeable.  So, if you suffer from silence, don't worry,
it goes away. Yet, I still long for peaceful quietness. I want to 
hear the wings of a butterfly as it passes me by.
