Face In the Crowd
~Face in the Crowd~
Family and friends all around me
Caring when I am happy
Not wanting to listen when I am down
In a room full of people
I feel alone
I talk to you
Even when I know, you are not really listening
I hear you when you tell me you do not want to hear about
My day
My past
My life
As if, we are two strangers
With no common bond
I listen to your stories
I see where we have so much in common
Yet, we are worlds apart
What happened to the person?
That shared jokes
Making me laugh
Making me feel hope
I miss that part of you
Hidden deep inside
What happened to my best friend?
Who made me feel like someone?
Cared no matter what
I do not know the person you have become
Like the rest of the people in my life
Who only care when I am happy
Not wanting to be around when I am down
Expecting me to be there for them
I feel so hurt knowing
To you
To them
I am no more than a
Face in the Crowd
