And, I, Sit.

The room is so loud.
Crowded.
Full of life.

Yet, I sit. Lonely.
Empty.

I hear people's conversations.
I listen to them while they tell me stories.

About their life.
Their kids.
Their jobs.

And I sit. Lonely.
Empty.

And I think.

Is this how it's supposed to be?
Is this how I'm supposed to be?

Rude. Ignorant. Mean. Selfish. Arrogant. Sheltered.
Happy? 

Am I the weird one?

And I sit. Lonely.
Empty.

Why can't I join them?
It seems so easy.

And yet I sit. In this crowded room.
Lonely.
Empty.
