I am in a crowded world.
But still I am alone.
People are looking towards me.
From what I see in their eyes,
They don't truly see me.
They make themselves busy talking to me.
Never do they take a moment to truly listen.
Some do try, but always fail in the end.
I am a simple person, not very hard to understand.
Yet people fail to see who I really am.
Sometimes I try to make them see, to understand me.
My tries only end in frustrating me.
Why do they fail to see me?
I fail in the end,
Instead of the friend I seek, an enemy I find.
Years spent adrift upon this human sea,
Finds me searching constantly looking into eyes,
Hundreds upon hundreds do I seek
Signs of recognition, only to find none.
In this vast sea of human life,
I am alone.
