Disconnecting From The World Poem by Rob Knetsch

i was talking louder and louder
but nobody seemed to hear me
i yelled, screamed, waved, kicked
i even ran around like crazy

in my desperation
i tried to get attention
but they all ignored me
as if i was not here, anymore

the sound morphed into noise
all colors were smearing out
people blurred into fading shapes
this world transformed into mist

while i felt like i was zooming out
getting further away from the mist
the distance grew more and more
it was like drifting high above clouds

where am i now? it is much like
looking through clear glass how
colored blobs shrink into dots
shrinking into pixels
