sirens

slowly
i begin to shut people down
as they speak to me as if i care
one by one they fall away

like the skin i shed
daily from my body
as it falls away in little pices of me

you look me in the eyes
while i
am not there
listening to you is not a priority to me

i have a sound track playing
in my
head that speaks louder
than the sirens of the police that come to me

yell or scream if you want to
but i wont hear you
for the music sounds better to me.
