Alone with People Around Me

[WitchBoy]

[glow=blue,2,300]
I am still alone
And yet there are people there

I just have to learn to speak their language,
A language of abbreviations
Fast and complicated

Faceless people who
Are somehow closer to me than
The people in the room with me

But I am lost in their world
I don’t seem to fit
Can’t keep up

But its better than
Sitting in isolation

Sometimes its easier
Talking to someone you
Can’t see, to build a mental picture
To know that they can’t see you cry

In its own way this impersonal
World is so much more friendly
Than the “real world”

I venture out in fear
Feat of what?, I don’t know
I have so many fears
But this one seems to
Be the strangest

I need people,
The human community
And yet I fear it
But Why , What do I fear
I have been welcomed
into this community
and yet I still feel like an intruder
Hiding in the Shadows

To watch but not know the rules.

I still feel like an intruder  
Hiding in the Shadows

I know how that can feel...it hurts.

Be yourself and your place and purpose will become clear...

Hide from yourself and you'll never overcome your fear...

True today as its always been mate...

Wow! What words!!
