Loneliness

Here I am, among the sea of humanity,

There are so many like me here,

So many who have the same physical structure as me,

Yet why do I feel so lonely every moment of the day?

I feel like all those around me are strangers,

They do not care of me or my well being,

They simply notice me or ignore me,

Why don't they at the very least smile at me when they notice?

I exist here along with all of them,

I am like all of them yet they could care less about me,

They look at me like the dirt beneath their feet as they don't know me,

Why can't they make a simple effort of ever knowing about me?

Is this how it will be like forever?

Is this how people usually treat others?

Is this how they behave to someone they think is odd?

Will humans be heartless forever?

Just because I am not like others they stay away from me,

Just because I do not have the same interest as them I am an abnormality,

Just because I don't speak a lot I am considered mute,

Why don't they ever ask me the reason behind all this?

Is this what being alone feels like?

It feels suffocating, and all the demons attack me in my mind,

It feels like I am drowning alone in the water with no one to save me,

If this is how it feels, then I would rather have someone.
