Have you ever wondered?
Well I have, about how when I say, say "red," for example,
There's no way of knowing if "red" means the same thing in your head as "red" means in my head when someone says "red."
And how if we are traveling as almost the speed of light, and we're holding a light, that light would still travel away from us, at the full speed of light.
Which seems right in a way..but I'm trying to say..I'm not sure.
But I wonder if inside my head, I'm not just a bit different from some of my friends.
These answers that come into my mind unbidden,
These stories delivered to me fully written.
And when everyone shouts like they seem to like shouting,
The noise in my head is incredibly loud.
And I just wish they'd STOP.
My dad and my mum and the telly and the stories would stop for just once.
And I'm sorry, I'm not quite explaining this right.
But the noise becomes anger and the anger is light.
And this burning inside me would usually fade, but it isn't today.
And the heat and the shouting.
And my heart is pounding.
And my eyes are burning.
And suddenly.
Everything, everything is...
Quiet.
And though the people around me, their mouths are still moving.
The words they are forming cannot reach me anymore.
And it is quiet, and I am warm.
Like I've sailed...into the eye of the storm.
