Farewell Fighter

Foreign is this simple sound escaping my breath, filling the room in excess Am I sick, am I alone in here; the sound resonates an echo I can't place Renovating the airspace like it belongs, a familiarity Existing in this singular instance, a mimic of a repetitive action heard everyday Well wishing, is it the wish that finally came true Even though that wish was made five odd years ago Liar, liar don't lie to me my own cryptic thoughts Lullaby me, sway me softly to soothe the growing chaos in my mind For I have been deaf since age 11 Ignite this fire which laid dormant, for I've felt unbalanced, inescapable silence Go liar doctor, make another promise to me you'll never keep Hear me with my hands since you can't hear me with my voice Tell me what on earth is this static coming through clearly Everyday I.....hear....I can....hear.... Resonating through my room, I noticed....it's been...me...laughing, crying; I can hear
