Disconnected

Have you ever felt like you aren't all there,
Like a part of you is far away somewhere,
Or like you have everything together one moment,
Then you just lose something, and you try hard to remember it,
It's like calling someone on the phone,
And all you hear is a dial tone,
I feel like my mind works like a phone at times,
When people try telling me what I don't want to hear, It's like a disconnected line,
" The person you are trying to reach is disconnected for the time being.",
A monotone voice in my head starts repeating,
"And will stay that way for the duration,
Of this boring conversation,
Please, don't leave a message after the beep."
The voice continues starting to plead,
"Thank you, and have a nice day."
Which in my own translation means "Go away.",
But people keep talking to me ,
Unaware that I haven't been listening,
I wonder if they'll ever realize,
Or continue talking to me when I don't reply,
Either way this conversation will remain deflected,
And my mind will remain disconnected.
