Where Are The Voices? Poem by Kellsey Hartmann

Where Are The Voices?



my phone buzzes again
3 more texts to answer
the written words to hide behind
no one talks to each other

not like we used to
when 8 year olds didn't have 'unlimited'
we'd talk and call and...
oh but now talking is outdated

we sit at home
and text all day
we type p the words
we'd never say

we chat on computers
and message back and forth
we use our phones
what are voices worth?

as each day goes by
i feel it start to go
no more real face time
as we text to and fro

words are hollow
and faces stay hidden
it's like real communication
has become forbidden

no one goes for walks
no more pleasure runs
no more 3 hour conversations
no more outside for fun

we all stay inside
and chat our lives away
with a friend?
still texts to real convo outweigh

talking to one person
but texting another
if you ask me
technology is becoming a bother

i want to see you
when i talk to you
i want to hear you
like how i'm used to

but why even bother
when i can text a few words?
why actually get to know you?
this is becoming absurd

we sit at home
text words we'd never say
we sit at home
wasting the day away
