No One Will Listen

I try talking 
But it never works 
I speak the same language
Maybe a different dialect 
But mostly the same words
I try and try again
It's always the same
If I ever have to talk again
I might try staying home
Maybe try talking to the kids
The wife or maybe even the dog
Ah, but they will not hear me
So, I will just talk to my mirror
At least then, I will have an audience of one
And I know he will at least hear me
