The Loud Voices of Silence

There is complete silence in the exterior.
But the voices in my mind are so loud!
I can't focus on what I need to do.
I try hard to pull away, 
But it is a tug of war too strong for me to fray
I loathe my contradicting gray thoughts
That frame of mind filled with incessant thinking
That takes me nowhere.
I want to stop the wandering,
As much as I don't want to.
'Compartmentalize thoughts' many preach. 
I cannot even comprehend it sometimes.
So I turn to some calming music 
And force myself to begin work with the basic.
Maybe, I will succeed ..
Now that I am done writing this piece.
