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"
