background noise

i turned on
the music
but
the words
don't get to me,
the melody
doesn't faze me
and
the voice
doesn't amaze me
but
that's not because
it's not a good song
and certainly
not because
i don't like the singer;
it's more of
a me problem,
everything just
started
to sound more
like a background noise
to me
these days.

—help, i can't hear the music anymore.
