I’m Talking To You
by, Melissa R. Mendelson
“I’m talking to you,”
she declared,
angered at the no attention.
She didn’t like to be ignored.
To be ignored meant to be invisible.
“I’m talking to you,”
she repeated,
but was she that lazy
to not reach across
to the one slipping from her?
Her voice raised another notch.
She was being ignored.
She was invisible,
and she would rather have the world
bow down to her feet.
“I’m talking here,”
but no longer
was I listening.

| Thank you all for your wonderful comments. This poem is actually based off two incidents. One was in a retail store, and the other was in a restaurant. Both women said the same exact thing, "Hey, I'm talking to you." It must be contagious. |

Some people don't know how to stop talking, repeating what they're saying over and over as if trying to get it across. The result is usually the opposite, they are no longer heard. I hope this didn't happen to you.

Compelling and enigmatic to me; I think she is talking with herself. Nicely done, Melissa. Love and best wishes,
