In a sea of faces
Lost and unknown
I stand surrounded
Yet feel alone
A crowded room
Filled with voices
In solitude, I am
Faced with choices
I watch the world
With a quiet gaze
Invisiblely weave through
This crowded maze
The loneliness
It does consume
Amid laughter
In this crowded room
Amid the chatter
And the cheer
I find solace
In the silence here
Fading away
Into the throng
Lost within myself
Quietly, I long
Watch as the crowd
Begins to part
A tightness welling
In my heart
Not alone yet lonely
I find my way
In this crowded room
I choose to stay
