Loneliness

Author’s Own Image

It’s possible to be

Surrounded

Everyone on speed

And feel alone

Thoughts race on motorways

Fueled by

Books and screens galore

And feel alone

Cords woven in this world

Untether

Words drift off like clouds

And feel alone

Looking like nobody else

Striking

Yet unseen in the known

And feel alone

Billions of beats

One

Is a fragment of you

And then you realize

You are not alone
