Loneliness

I sit where silence learns my name,
and shadows whisper just the same.
The world still moves, it doesn’t wait,
while I stand still inside my state.

A crowded room, yet I’m unseen,
a faded echo in between.
I laugh, I speak, I play my part,
but quiet storms still hold my heart.

Loneliness..no face, no sound,
yet somehow it’s always around.
It doesn’t shout, it doesn’t fight,
it just stays close every night.

Still I breathe, still I stay,
waiting for a lighter day.
Maybe one day I will find
a place where I don’t feel behind.
