Invisible Existence

A new chapter

A foreign place

Filled with people

Whom I've met but not close to

And mainly strangers

From all walks of life

I find it hard to step out of my comfort zone

To engage and be who I usually am

So, I am often in solitude

My mind is convincing me that I do not need friends

That outside of this place, I do have people there for me

Yet, I can't help but feel lonely

When we have to be in groups

There is no one to blame but me

As I find it difficult to let people in once again

Sometimes, I do enjoy this lack of connections and commitments

Letting me go into hiding whenever

And disappear like a ghost

Perhaps, I'd like to believe that I never did exist
