Silent Drills
Why can't there be silent drills?
The sound is no distraction
It's not trying to hide,
in fact it's mass production
It's covered in pride
The noise of the drills,
drill inside my mind
And like that the loud drills were kept inside
because they think I have nothing to hide
This noise is my enemy
It's inside my mind, it's killing me
The thoughts are taking over
They're not keeping me so sober
The noise is drilling holes you see,
constantly and I can't let it be
Being inside my mind isn't so fun
It's like I'm trapped and the disease is handed the gun
And there's no way of getting out
because the noise is always about
drilling holes, dark and deep
so the diseases can always creep
and fill my mind
so they have have the dark and noise to hide behind
and the noise always drills them in
cause there aren't any silent drills.
So with that I say
be careful, it can come night and day
because there are no silent drills
and the diseased darkness always fills.

My love for writing has always been here. I suffer from bipolar depression, anxiety, and ADHD. I have been for my whole life. I wrote this poem when I heard drills outside of a window. I was in the city so it is pretty common. But I live in the suburbs so it felt uncommon. It was a very distracting sound because I was feeling extremely depressed at the time. So it made me annoyed, and angry but depressed. That's the story of my life, but I hope the reader can relate to the "noise" and the "drills" being mental illnesses. I hope they know they are not alone. :-)
