The screams on “don’t do” cease to exist

The quietness she longed for was in abundance

The frequent unannounced clamors that troubled her the most had magically disappeared

The house was too clean for her to recognize

The tranquility she longed for all this time was finally arrived

But the clamor inside her mind still survived

And no matter how much she tried it failed to recede
