Existence

 

         

I stood among a crowd of people, joyfully cherishing their every moment. Being in a crowded place makes me feel numb because despite being surrounded by smiling faces and happy thoughts, I was alone, apart from the voice in my head. I'd prefer to be in bed, sleeping, forgetting this world. Being surrounded by people that don't care makes me feel isolated because no one truly understands what happens in my mind. It made me realize that I was alone and that in this world you should rely on nobody. But yourself. 

When this loneliness fell upon my heart, I felt isolation. Hoping that it will eventually break into restoration. But as I grew older, I realized that this burden has only left me colder. The hope inside of me still persists, longing for the day I start to exist.
