DIMINISHED NOISE

A lot of noise in my head today.


Why didn’t you?

Why don’t you?

No one is listening.

No one cares.

You’re a fake.

What good does it do?


And just like being in a crowded

room means you can barely hear

the person standing right

in front of you,

this noise means I cannot

hear what is most important.


Breathe deeply. (now do it again)

Fix what you can.

Focus on your chosen priorities.

Let go of imagined perceptions.

Breathe deeply. (now do it again)


And the noise diminishes.
