My eyes blur

All I can see is a blinking cursor on the screen

Emptiness

They're talking

They won't stop talking

Smilingsmiling

I focus on their words for a moment

A thought comes to mind

I open my mouth to say it

Two word come out

But neither turn their head

I'm not there

I guess I never was

So I might as well

Hide my face with my hair

And withdraw

Plug in the headphones

Blast the music and imagine someone

Calling my

name.
