In the midst of People

In the midst of people 

Where everyone has a role 

I find myself searching 

My existence 

Where everyone is talking things 

I listen closely to myself 

Trying to figure out 

What I'm listening to. 

Seated at the corner 

I explore the edges 

That cuts me inside 

In the midst of people 

I speak none but 

I Talk to myself 

Every word I hear 

Question my existence. 

Thoughts play with every face 

I feel like acting blind 

Like the wounded man 

I'm waiting for my Samaritan. 

Pardon me in your conversations 

My thoughts are roaming wild 

Set me free this time 

If I fail to lit up your eyes 

I find my desires buried 

In the midst of people 

Suffocating myself 

I pretend to be alright.
