Es difícil escuchar mi voz cuando se vive entre tanto ruido Cuando despierto y me siento vacío mientras la vida me va desbordando Los bombardeos de información caen certeros sobre mis oídos Y ya no distingo mis pensamientos de las mentiras que nos enseñaron Influencers need people to influence So I haven't been on social media in months Ya no soy yo el que me habla en las noches Son la ansiedad y la depresión que disfrazadas de perfección toman el micrófono Y entran en acción para hacer su show en las redes sociales I could no longer tell who's voice was mine I could no longer afford the toll of the troll I could no longer see the bridges between us My world had grown too vast and too small I could no longer fight for the attention of those unwilling to like a post, much less like people When you're trapped in an echo chamber and full of self-doubt It's hard to sort through the endless static, volume all the way up Countless frequencies you're tuned into, ones you never opted into But you can't easily hit unsubscribe from Life I came to the conclusion that these platforms are businesses built to sell us as products Mark Zuckerberg's dishing out dopamine hits like they're heroin Jeff Bezos' making a fortune to achieve his dream of colonizing Mars Because colonization worked so well the first time Even when it's all talking heads, breaking news Cycle upon cycle of chopped footage that starts to desensitize you They paraphrase clickbait refrains that begin to sound like gibberish They get people primed to tap away with bite-sized retweets and reshares Quoting each other's palatable soundbites in 150 characters or less Spamming their networks with a great American novella stuffed with hashtags La incertidumbre es la madre de todos los males Y hoy que lo sabemos todo, no sabemos nada de nosotros mismos Me pregunto qué pensamientos le pertenecen a mi autoría Si tendré ideas que sean mías o solo repito lo que voy escuchando What ideas are even our own anymore I've been listening for the voices of my…our ancestors I still do not speak in their tongue I'm starting to hear them Transcribe them Translate them Ya no sé bien quién lleva el mando Emisor, receptor, mensaje, ruido Todo es un zumbido en mi cabeza y el silencio no viene a salvarme I've been building bridges This is one of them I doubt its quality, but that's not up to me to decide It involves digging deep to find the origins of a few threads Getting down to dirty research on a few topics Searching with wide eyes for the blood, sweat, and tears of honest people Behind the sea of bots and quick to copy paste trigger fingers It's keeping ourselves and others accountable with fact checks Checking our gut reaction and then act accordingly Keep hold tightly to honest self reflection, to empathy El silencio perdió su voz El silencio ya no dice nada Contamos historias en quince segundos que luego olvidamos en tres porque no hay tiempo que perder, hay tanto para ver que ya no puedo repetir mis películas favoritas sin sentirme culpable The most likely outcome These words will get lost in the deluge of information You'll remember what it was like to scroll, but you'll forget every moment Your life will be no different I say these words anyway It's emotionally exhausting But I'd rather stagger along under my own power Keep fighting to find my voice Until even my great, great, great grandchildren can speak truth Drag their own amps and mics through the bloody dust behind them Prop portable generators up beside those who are losing steam The ones who've been shouting for years The ones who have been straining their vocal chords back centuries To make up for those who never found their voice Those who were silenced before they even reached their prime I want them to see that when I spoke my poetry, I opened my mouth And my voice became interwoven, amplified with other voices Of all my ancestors before me Of all those who fight to survive Of all those trying to join the broadcast That amplify true voices, the strong voices Until together they began to drown out the static El mundo espera que esté enterado de las noticias y yo solo quiero hacer canciones Solo quiero desconectarme para saber cómo sueno por dentro Solo quiero recordar el sonido de mi voz
