I'm surrouned by voices

(the ones I do not want to listen to)

their nasally, nagging voices

Bragging, 

saying words I want to ignore

but even if I cover my ears

their voices continue to rise,

I surrender.

I'm surrounded by people

(who I had hoped to never meet)

that push and shove my body,

touching me,

never letting me ignore them

even when I close my eyes

their arms grab and push against me.

I surrender

I decide to surrender

to what people call "the human experience"

I do not care for it

(I hope it ends, soon)

because I feel myself 

being lost in this sea of voices and bodies

yelling, pushing

everyone fighting to be heard, to be seen

I think I'll just stand still,

I won't be yelling, touching.

I have surrendered to this "human experience."
