Alone In a Crowd

Enduring in crowd, living alone. 
Pretense, engaged. Conspicuous stone.
Solace amid the silencing sound.
Social setting. Trapped and bound.

Paralyzed movement. Strangled tone.
Enduring in crowd, living alone.
Vexing stage, communal minefield.
Required presence, reluctantly yield.

Commons cheer congress repletion.
Fear seared soul. Nerves depletion.
Enduring in crowd, living alone.
Network demise. Allies not sown.

Quiet corner roost. Enervating mind.
Exiles migration, quest of my kind.
Refuge found. Fulfilled, intone.
Enduring in crowd, living alone.
