The Feeling Of Being Lost In A Crowd

Poem

By Mr AddyPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

In the depths of the bustling throng, I stand,

A solitary soul, lost in a sea of faces.

Amidst the cacophony, I yearn to be found,

To escape the invisible shackles, empty spaces.

The crowd moves like a symphony of lives,

Each note a story, a whisper of existence.

But I remain adrift, searching for a voice,

Longing to break free from this endless distance.

Voices blend together in a harmonious blend,

Laughter, chatter, and fragments of conversation.

Yet, their words slip through my weary heart,

As I yearn for a connection, a moment of revelation.

In the kaleidoscope of strangers, I fade away,

A silhouette in the background, a forgotten name.

Lost amidst the ebb and flow of human tides,

I seek solace in solitude, where I lay no claim.

But deep within the labyrinth of my longing,

There resides a flicker of hope, a gentle spark.

A belief that amidst this chaotic disarray,

I'll find myself, whole and free from the dark.

For even in the midst of this vast expanse,

There are threads that bind us, unseen and true.

The yearning for connection, the desire to be known,

It's a shared journey, a testament to what we pursue.

So I'll continue to wander, through this crowd,

Embracing the beauty and the pain it imparts.

For it is in the midst of feeling utterly lost,

That I rediscover the strength within my heart.
