Voices of the internet
the voices have become a cacophony
they’re more discordant every year
voices cajole me to do better each day
voices convince me why
voices tell me inspiring stories
sad stories or strange stories
voices plead for something
voices fortell doom
so many conflicting voices teach me the best way to be
voices explain their perceptions of truth
voices strained with deception
booming or squeaky voices
strident or soothing voices
voices with all kinds of accents
voices I never imagined I could hear
sometimes they spark new neurones to connect
sometimes they fill me with fear
sometimes words are lost in the deafening chorus
sometimes they all merge into one roar
sometimes I need quiet to hear my own voice
sometimes I need silence to hear no voice
shhh
