Amber in the wait

Nothing lonelier than being alone in a crowd
standing still in a bustling sea of aliens 
they speak their dialects and look
right through me as if I wasn’t there

Feeling insignificant I don’t belong
and everybody knows it
like an imposter trying to fit in
but wearing the wrong camouflage

I try to merge with oncoming traffic
but they ignore me and won’t let me in
refusing to give me a chance
I am not worthy and they let me know it

Secretly part of me thrives in their ostracism
content that I have made my attempt
that like amber in layers underneath
there is more to be found in silence


Inspired by movie “Lost in Translation”
