Everything is blinding 

Whirlwind 

Cascading 

Blurring 

Overwhelming 

 

Tossed at me like jarring bricks 

Chatting 

Phones 

Commuters 

Computers 

 

Spinning round in circles 

Burnout 

Overload 

Disassociate 

Masking 

 

Every input makes me miserable 

Twitching 

Blinking 

Shaking 

Breathing 

 

The music shakes my skin off 

Deafening 

Thundering 

Vehement 

Ringing 

 

The silence pierces through auricular pain 

Buzzing 

Whirring 

Rattling 

Tapping 

 

Finding ways to tune it out 

Stimming 

Pacing 

Humming 

Distracting 

 

Calming myself once again 

Breathing 

Meditating 

Grounding 

Sensing 

 

Sensing everything round two 

Relaxing 

Lightening 

Lessening 

Alleviating
