Drowned out by the sheer volume
The little whisper goes unheard
To fight the negative darkness
The barrage of ill sentiment
Composed in your mind
Becoming the breakfast cereal
Of the doomed and hopeless
In the shadow of morning news
A burial by crisis and disaster
A continued cacophony
From outside and amplified in
Seek the silence
To hear the important messages
To build strength
Against the destructive speak
To look for the light
To see the silver in everything
To rise above your own toxins
Ringing in your ears
