Alone In The Crowd
by Rene Bennett

Alone in the Crowd There are strangers all around me everywhere I go still I keep searching to find someone I know. They ask how I'm doing just to be kind not wanting the truth so I tell them I'm fine. Gently I smile nodding my head. How should I feel? My family is dead. People avoid me won't look in my eyes don't want to see truth where my pain lies. I feel so secluded so out of place. Searching the crowd for a familiar face. I want someone to listen I need someone to hear the screams in my head screaming with fear. Yet, no one is left for me to turn to so I'm all alone still searching for you.
