Love Poem: In a Crowd

In a Crowd

I stand alone in a room full of people.
    Can't you hear my crying?
I stand apart from the crowd around me.
    Can't you hear my screaming?

  When they stand, I fall.
    Try to understand,
        I don't know anything, anything at all.

Wander with me, and I am so lonely
    Do you feel me reaching?
There is no lesson for you to learn
    Why am I still teaching?

  When they fight, I cower.
    Do not defend,
        hold on 'til the end.
   
And the sun burns, the Earth turns...
    New days will bring more light,
Chasing away the darkness of the night
    I am still here, I do still yearn...
Forever in constant change
    My life has been rearranged...

I stand alone in a crowd.
