Alone in a crowd

That describes me

My screams are not loud

My mind is not free

I just don’t fit in

With all of the rest

I don’t like the din

I like quiet the best

I like to stay home

It is my favorite thing

I don’t like to roam

Or the crowds parties bring

Alone, I may be

But not lonely, It’s true

There is a difference, you see

I’m alone, but not blue.

I constantly find myself alone,

Though I mostly don't,

Feel lonely.

People come and go,

That is just how life is.

It is more likely,

For me to feel lonely,

With people,

Than without.

I cannot explain myself,

So do not ask me to.

There are people,

Who I don't want,

To leave me,

Alone.

These people I love,

You know who you are,

Or at least,

I do.

I stand alone in the crowd

Letting the people sift by me,

None bothering to stop and help me,

Or ask what is wrong.

I stand alone in the crowd,

Letting the sorrow wash over me,

No one noticing or bothering,

To care.

I stand alone in the crowd,

Letting pain fill my bones,

I’m done with this sorrow,

I’m done with this pain,

I’m done with my life.
