How It Feels To Live With Tinnitus

~ Frank Solanki

Without a warning in advance
The wily ghost took his chance
Settled down between my ears
For years and years and years

He cares for nothing but his whistle
I personally served him his dismissal
Yet he wouldn’t leave me alone
He’s home, he’s home, he’s home

It’s my fault but I was lonely
I cursed the stars and wished for only
Something someone who would always be
With me, with me, with me

Now I regret my life’s choice
I wake each morning to his voice
Is it too late for another wish?
It is, it is, it is

I can claim my life as grim
Or I can smile and peace with him
Nothing’s ever gonna change his ways
He stays, he stays, he stays

  1. I lliked the line about wishing for something someone to always be there with you, to cure you of your loneliness. And there, you got tinnitus instead! God /Life sure has a twisted sense of humour. Sometimes it makes me scared to wish for anything too!. Hope your tinnitus leaves you or treats you more kindly 😊
