Noise

So much

Too much

Loud

Quiet

Heartful

Hateful

Noise

Noise

Noise

Drama

Belligerence

Lies

Lies

Lies

It's all just noise

Noise

Noise

Distracting

Elating

Enduring

Constraining

Liberating

Crushing

Noise

Noise

Noise

Against my skin

Noise deep within

Scratching to get out

Coherent thoughts

Cannot sprout

The train cannot run

Until the noise is done

Noise

Noise

Noise

Crackling

Cackling

Snapping

Popping

Noise

Noise

Noise

Fog in my mind

Something's there

Just behind the

Noise

Noise

Noise

Action beyond the sound

The enshrouding embrace

Disjointed colours

Barely seen

Insights great

Achievements that could have been

If not for the

Noise

Noise

Noise

Grey and white and black and more

Too much fluff for my brain to store

Noise

So much noise

Cannot think

And cannot breathe

Cannot write

Cannot but seethe

Noise

Noise

Noise

War and peace

So much noise

Crackling

Cackling

Seething

Rumbling

Constant noise

Noise

Noise

Cracking pops

Skipping records

Demagogue's words

Hopeful cries

My mind is become stormy skies

Before the rain

Intention and desire

I cannot fain

Too loud for even ire

Noise

Noise

Noise

So much

Too much

Everywhere

All at once

Everything with no nuance

Crackling

Popping

Grating

Noise

Noise

Noise!
