All I hear is a dial tone... <br />I'm telling you how I really feel inside <br />Telling you how badly I hurt <br />How much I cry <br />How much I really try <br />To make this work out with us <br />But all I hear is a dial tone... <br />I'm telling you how angry I am <br />Telling you how broken I am <br />Why I've hurt myself <br />Why I've had enough <br />But all I hear is a dial tone... <br />I'm telling you about my messed up life <br />Telling you about my screwed up family <br />How much we fight <br />How loud they scream and yell <br />But all I hear is a dial tone... <br />I'm telling you how scared I am <br />Telling you how depressed <br />How I wish that everything was really okay <br />Because it's not <br />Even if I say it is fine, <br />It isn't <br />But all I hear is a dial tone... <br />I'm telling you how disturbed I am <br />Telling you how confused I am <br />Why I speak so low <br />Why I'm lost in my thoughts <br />And why I like to be alone <br />I'm telling you why I hate to be touched <br />Why I try to succeed so hard in school <br />Why I hate my life <br />How much I really feel <br />How much pain and anger I have inside me... <br />But... all I hear... is a dial tone...<br /><br />Emily Wallace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dial-tone-3/
