QUIET!!!!

I cannot stand this racket!
Can you really not hear it?
I know it’s inside my head
but still, it’s such pandemonium
it surely must resound around.
This guilt of mine, so hideous,
so appalling, If I don’t get rid of it
I’ll go mad! How can you act
like there’s nothing?
You mean you really have no guilt?
We were raised together,
grew up two peas in a pod,
were so close we knew
each others’ thoughts.
I know you’ve talked about
peace, about serenity.
Do you really think it could help?
What? You once bewailed
screaming guilt of your own?
