Alone Poem by Elwyna D'Souza

Do you see everyone around you
Can you here their voices around you
Are you as invisible as me?
As ignored, As alone as me?

Do you get up everyday and wonder
Why do i wake, Why do i live
Do i have a greater puropose
Am i as important as the person beside
If...importance matters at all
Then why do i cry at night,
Why do i fall

Silence all around me
I find it as common as breathing
My heart is beating, I can hear it
I question if im human,
That answer i do not know
My emotions have left me,
Have been drained from me
I've learnt to fake a smile.....
To place a mask

Still through this i am alone
None care to see
What i am, who i am
What burns inside of me.
