and if too loud will be silenced -

“Do your things on earth as your heart commands!
When there comes to you that day of mourning,
The Weary-hearted hears not their mourning, Wailing saves no man from the pit!”

“The 2ams have held my hopes all these years as I calm my nerves down for there would only be three more hours for the world to wake up to my screams and wails of excruciating pain.
Probably the drug store would open if I wait for three more hours then.
8am and the doc would prescribe me a few medicines over whatsapp.
I would make three cups of tea by then. I would quiet my mouth as it would bite on my arm.
By twelve I would finally be relieved as the meds would work.
But it's only midnight now... wish you another goodnight's sleep....”
― Sanhita Baruah

“The stock market is roaring and planet Earth is wailing.”
