Singing a solo
In every direction, my ensemble
How can I be so alone
In a room full of people
Surrounded
But completely solitary
Singing alone
While so many other voices carry
I am encased in a separate melody
Someone please rescue me
From this isolated menagerie
Where fear is my closest enemy
How can I dance alone
With so many
Others dancing right
Beside me?
This choreography
Designed for many
How is it that I
Feel as if I am doing it under a separate sky?
Why do I feel like this stage
Holds only me in a cage?
How does this intricate musical
Feel like a monologue at all?
Standing under the lights
With so many performers
Acting out swordfights
But I feel like I am just watching them from the sidelines
Singing a solo in a room full of people
Dancing with no partner, a strangers hands in mine
Performing a monologue on a stage crowded with performers
How have I been stabbed by the knife of isolation in such a filled place?
