"sand On a Beach" (Lonely Alone In a Crowd)

Walking with hands empty and a hole in my heart.. Steps are slow as the people I pass begin to part.. My thoughts are a million miles away to place where life was a little clearer... Another image passes through my mind as nameless faces pass through my mirror.... I can't see their agenda as they shuffle past... Yet there voices and chatter are a distant sound as they walk by so fast.. I wonder can they see my drama or even reach.. Or am I just another grain of sand on a blissful beach.. Like a leaf on a tree that blends in the light.. My life is in my mind and the glow not so bright..

I know I feel this way at most times, am I important? Or am I already under a un-important line. Do I sparkle like a star? Or am I un-special and I keep reaching for them. Mixtures of pain and being unaware of oneself...but that helps us find ourselves.
