Noise

Without a sound
A silent din
Ringing loudly
Drowning me
In obscure thoughts

Mangled

Between reality
And imagination
Torn between
Here and then
With no ground
On which to plant my feet

I float

In an aura
Of uninspiring glow
Quickly fading
Into darkness
Ebony night
Pale against my skin
The moon
New
Sheds no light

Yet

I seek it
Dare to emerge
Eyes open
Only to be blinded
By ignorance, arrogance
And the loss of humanity

How do I make you hear
Better still, understand
When my words fall
On deaf ears, am I
But a hum, or drone
You have so easily
Tuned out, turned off
Or is it you who simply
Does not care to listen
Muting the sounds
Too full of yourself
To admit wrong
Ignoring the signs
You need help
Or to notice
I am right
Here

Mind Legend

You speak aloud
And no one listens
The words topple around you

You speak again
And resolve to answer yourself
Asking why no one gives attention
Why does no one respond?

You shout
And the sound echoes, empty
Like footsteps on pavement
Falling wordlessly distant

You scream
One more time
And still no return
Only the repetition
Of your own voice
Answering back, hollow
Mocking your own mind
