Alone

He’s alone. The streets, alleys and parks are full of people who can’t see him. He tries to shout for attention, only for the people to pass through him. His body light, he feels like a ghost watching other people carry their burden, that blind and deafen them from his true self.

A 7 for this piece that perfectly describes how one can feel so alone, though in a crowd. Sometimes we can be SO self-absorbed. Congratulations on your win, Teddy! Janice
