In the crowd, I feel so alone Faces familiar, yet I'm unknown I keep things lowkey, a guarded pace Replying to messages, or hiding in a space A few close friends, but I wait for their call Only talking when they initiate it all Their stories unfold, a life so bright Someone to share laughs, through day and night They've got companions, local adventures spin I stay home, in my quiet world within Invites come through, but I decline the scene Chilling solo, my comfort, my screen My days are simple, a routine so plain Reading, movies, family, and work's the refrain No loud gatherings, no spontaneous delight Just me, my thoughts, in the quiet night But sometimes the silence feels heavy as stone And loneliness whispers, "You're not alone, you're just unknown"
“I find my strength in solitude and my voice in the whispers of my thoughts.”
