Parts of the background blur-
marginalize and compartmentalize.
Listen
I stand here screaming in the dark –
in your ear.
Don’t you hear me?
As you turn away,
ears closed -
I am background noise
I am background noise
I am background noise
I am background noise
I am background noise
I am background noise
I am background noise
I am background noise
I am background noise
As I bend and sway to your rules,
letting stuff out,
as well as letting things in.
Background noise
in people's lives –
not important enough
- to actually listen
- to shape one's life around.
I am background noise
I’m the one
who shapes my life
to fit the needs
love can live in.
I am background noise
I am background noise
I am background noise
