I am alone.
But wonder if I really am.
I can hear those around me.
I see the people there.
I want to be with them.
I am alone.

I pretend to exist.
I feel as though I don't.
I touch no one around me.
I worry that they are not real.
I am alone.

I understand you are there.
But I say nothing.
I dream of being with you.
I hope someday I can find the courage.
I am alone.
