This

is how I die.

 

I walk through the halls,

Waves of unfamiliar faces

Crashing against me,

Their conversations

Flooding my mind.

 

I'm drowning

in this sea of voices.

 

But I put in my earbuds and tap play on my phone.

 

The flood recedes from my mind,

The waves are silenced.

I'm lifted from this overwhelming blue.

 

And I'm not drowning anymore,

For I have drowned everything else.
