You are in a party..
Surrounded by friends and family.
Yet that familiar unwelcome feeling comes,
That makes you feel lonely.
Its odd that I am surrounded by everyone.
Yet I am standing alone..
Listening to noises all around,
And yet, hear nothing at all..
I walk around and talk to everyone.
I listen and laugh and I joke and talk back.
Yet, why does it feel..
As though, none of that is mine?
I see outside the window..
The rain spatters all across..
I imagine myself outside in the rain,
But don't get wet myself.
Though I get lonely all the time,
I never want to be alone.
This loneliness I can bear,
Only surrounded and not by myself.
Why am I lonely and feel out of sorts?
As if I don't fit in this normal place..
I can see myself looking back at me,
Laughing and talking away..
Loneliness can be a dangerous thing.
It makes you look away..
Just then I hear a sweet voice,
Calling my name..
My fears just vanishes and I smile..
As that sound vanquishes my loneliness,
And turns me right back around..
