The screen just stares

A silent void

No pings

No dings

No light employed

I talk to walls

They don’t reply

A ghost of noise

The signal’s dry

Is it me or the wires?

Am I lost in the static fires?

No signal

No sound

I’m screaming but it won’t rebound

No signal

No line

Disconnected heart

It’s not fine

I hold my breath

The air feels thin

The outside’s out

The inside’s dim

They’re out there laughing

I can tell

I’m stuck inside my private shell

No signal

No sound

I’m screaming but it won’t rebound

No signal

No line

Disconnected heart

It’s not fine

Static fills the gaps

My thoughts collide

An echo chamber where I hide

Waves crash but never hit the shore

Am I here or nowhere anymore?
