In the Middle of a Crowded Room


Surrounded by space,
yet there’s no room to breathe.
Surrounded by people,
and there’s nobody to talk to.

All my false friends hold me
so close
and I’ve never felt so alone.

They smile, and pretend
we are so connected.

We aren’t, of course.

It’s all a sham,
all a lie,
nothing’s real after all.

There’s a loop,
but I’m not in it.
I never was, and
somehow, I don’t think
I ever will be.

Once upon a daydream,
I was surrounded by people
who knew me,
and who I knew
just by looking at them.

But it was only a daydream,
only a memory.

Gone, before
I could suck the sweet
nectar from its
blossom.
