Alone in the Crowd

Have you ever been there?
When everyone is around you
but you’re alone?

How is this possible?
There is a crowd surrounding you
but this lonely feeling...

It continues

Nothing stops this. At least not now
Nothing can shake me out of this state.
I don’t know what to do.

Someone? Anyone?

Can someone save me from this nightmare?
Is there any end to the pain and suffering?
I feel like I’m carrying everyone’s burdens

On my shoulders

I can’t let go
If I did, who would carry them?
The world would take them up, embracing them

But then everyone would feel this way
No, I can’t let go!

But...

What if someone was to share my pain?
Perhaps...
If I had a partner by my side

The pain would lessen

I can try
But right now
Nobody is coming

I am alone
