Being Surrounded


I could be surrounded by people,
yet be completely alone
when they look at me
they look right through me
like I’m not there,
a ghost which walks among them.

I could be surrounded by people,
yet be completely alone
when they speak to me
I can hear the venom seep
into each syllable
dripping from their tongues.

But even if only one person
could see me,
understand me,
this world would be a better place.

That person could be you
the one which sees
the one which believes
that person could be you…..
