A little like poetry

alone in a crowd

alone in a crowd

no one listens
no one hears
i talk
but no one's really here.

sometimes all you need is someone to listen you know?
sometimes all you want is someone to pretend they're paying attention.
but then,
sometimes all you get is
well,
nothing.

cos you're speaking but no one's really listening.
everyone wants to be listened to,
everyone wants to be heard
someone doesn't always have to lose out you know,
someone doesn't always have to give
thinking about it,
how'd you survive,
no one to hear you out,
how'd you live?

i'm talking,
but no one's listening.
i'm speaking
but no one hears anything.
everyone's here,
but i'm alone.
the silence rings loud
no one can hear my shouts.
i'm screaming but the buzz of life drowns me out
