Articles: Superficial Jarble Personified in Static |
Posted by

Is it so wrong to want some peace and quiet? Sometime the noise of the crowds drowns out whatever voice is trying to speak inside. Today, the noise was completely overwhelming. Every where I went, the gossip hung like a crimson veil in the air and it was strangling me. I wanted so much just to scream and tear at my hair and rip at my clothes. I think I truly went a little insane.
I didn't want to handle all of the people contributing to chaos, so instead of sitting at the table I've sat at every day for the past three years, I went with my best nonconformist friend to a teacher's room and had a steamy cup of tea and let the poetry flow from my seemingly jumbled soul. The static began to clear and I was feeling like maybe I could handle all the noise around me.
Yet, when I went up to my next period class, I was hit in the face with a thousand questions. "Where were you?" "Did you eat? You're not trying to lose weight, are you?" "Are you mad at me?"
Maybe it is just me, maybe I am bored of having the same people around me that knew me in kindergarten (I live in a very small town and my graduating class has 45 people in it). I know that this feeling will pass, it always has before.
My question, though, is- do those screaming voices ever quiet? Do people ever stop drowning out what they truly feel with superficial jarble? Does the static ever give way to forms of art, either speech or song, or something other than the restlessness of not wanting to be still?

Sometimes when I don't go to lunch, and I just do something else, people flood me with questions of the same type. I like to be away for a while. Solitude can be very nice. I crawl away from the normal morning crowd at school and go for a leisurely walk to my first period class.

People also "flood" me with questions when I don't show up for break or lunch. I get tired of the same ol' thing, and I just need to escape sometimes. I tend to escape to the library . No one is ever in there. These people don't ever step foot in there, which is good news for me. There, the "superficial Jarble' slowly dies away...and something new comes in: Peace.
