My voice is a call away,
My head is a mile away.
     Your voice is a call away,
     Your texts are a second away

I am avoiding,
ignoring,
hanging up.

You are calling,
talking to,
texting me.

My eyes are closed with my hands on my ears,
        and I am shut in, and self-isolating.
        Self-destructing and self-violating.

You are yelling,
screaming, begging,
talking, calling,
and pleading.

I am avoiding,
Ignoring, self-destroying,
escaping, evading,
and eluding.

Yet your voice is just a call away.

Your voice is small,
    And I am asleep.
Your voice is loud
    and I am outside.

Your thoughts are probing,
     and I am out walking
Your thoughts are abstaining,
     and I am out eating.

I hear you through the tunnel in the mountain,
    But I am a train, my attention is sparring.

I hear you under the water as i swim in the sea,
   But I am a shark and I'm looking for blood in the water.

So block me, hate me, and ignore me.
   Because I can't hear you, understand you, nor comprehend you.

Let me self-isolate,
Wallowing in my delusions.
