Who is Making so much Noise...

Please be quiet…
Why is there so much noise?
Don’t raise your voice.

Please I want peace…
Will you please pay heed?
Desperately some quiet I need.

Please listen to my plea…
I don’t want to blow my fuse
No one will be amused.

Please I want some rest…
Go else where and leave me alone,
Promise, I won’t feel forlorn.

Well, well, I surrender…
I said with a shrug,
Hand me ear plugs.

Hey, are you having a nightmare?
Didn’t you say your prayers?

I opened my eyes
And sheepishly realised,

How could I blame others for my state?
I muttered to myself lying prostrate.
