I Am
I am lonely in a crowded room
I wonder if it is me or is that selfish for me to assume?
I hear their laughing, the easiness of their chatter
I see their wonderful smiles, the sparkle in their eyes, simpleness is all that matters.
I want to be free, to dance to trusting tune,
But I am lonely in a crowded room.
I pretend to be strong
I feel all this wrong.
I touch my walls, I fear their fall
Yet I worry with their presence, he will never hear my heart's lonely call
I cry, hidden beneath the moon
And still I am lonely in a crowded room
I understand that it takes time
I say that for now I know I'll be fine.
I dream for a unity, a friend, a spouse
I try to wait patiently, but this heart needs a house.
I hope I will meet him soon
So that I am no longer lonely in a crowded room

I know this feeling all too well. Its almost like a crowd makes a person feel more alone. For me, anyway, they make me feel more alone because despite their presence that silence inside, that hollow filled with only loneliness seems to be lonelier still and only growing with every person that looks right through you and doesn't even notice the smile you try to show them or see the hand you reached out to them asking for a friend.
I really like this one. And sadly, relate to it more than I'd like to admit.

Crowds do seem to echo in the empty spaces that are made by loneliness. I wish it wasn't the case.
