THE NOISE WE LEARN TO IGNORE
Too many voices
fighting to be heard,
too many faces
buried beneath the noise.
We scroll past anger.
We scroll past fear.
We scroll past people
asking us to look.
Somewhere between
the headlines and the silence,
a human story disappears.
So I drew a circle around it.
Not because it is the only thing that matters,
but because I am afraid
we have become too good
at looking away.
