looking in on the laughter and the smiles
knowing alone as i am across the miles
so far away from who i am who i will be
always knowing always be alone with me
faces lose focus voices lose their sound
are they watching me as i look around
(the bodies are going out of focus now
everyone is just a blur and i laugh
now everyone is the same
what would they say to that)
try to laugh but I can't breathe
fear pushes up from beneath
the room has grown too bright
something is wrong something isn't right
i swim through the ocean of my thoughts
filled with should have and should have not
i
am
drowning
one long breath deeply taken
soul is torn battered and shaken
do they know i don't belong
i came here hoping but i was wrong
i know now again that i should go
yes i think that they do know

- Comment from author about the poem: If you've ever felt like you didn't belong or felt alone in a group of people than maybe you'll understand this one. I left out all capitals and punctuation because at times like that the mind is often a jumble of panicked thoughts.
