I had a voice, loud and strong
I had an opinion, proud and sound
Then, they started appearing
The trolls, with words so wrong
I gave it a fight until I could not
I didn’t have it in me – to commit
To belligerent, infinite explaining
To shove for a place in the medley
I muted myself, all thoughts shelved
I had nothing more to perceive
No more breaking news to see
It didn’t matter to me who prevailed
Or whose entire world derailed
For no one cared enough to listen
To what the sane had to convey
I am hurrying through life
No chance to stop and wait
To see moments unfurl
Relaxed, laid back, paced
For there is always
New series to binge watch
Book review before the launch
Story, poem, Insta delight
Twitter wars, WhatsApp fight
Live now on Facebook groups
Clubhouse, Discord, Spaces, too
Arts, crafts, podcasts, videos
Content overload, daily dose
Clutter, noise, brimming chaos
Pushing, pulling, stretching void
Between the real and digital
Living on a rushed clock
Clicking until time stops!
