Do you ever feel alone in a crowded room? Now, do take time to stop and ponder this. I mean more than feeling like you have no one or know no one.

Let me express, have you ever felt so alone in a crowded room though many may know you? Though many tried to converse with you? Though many looked directly at you, smiled a little, or made a small gesture towards you?

Have you ever been so crowded in a room of people you loved yet felt so unnoticed... so small, as if you were literally beneath them all? Thinking just maybe you are as invisible and small as you feel. However, you know all these people love you, at least so they say they do. So, you begin to assess your faults, thinking maybe I caused them to turn the other direction or caused them to see right past  me. The blaming game begins to roll its dice and all the turns lead up to you. The over analyzing has become over bearing and you can feel your mind on over drive. Yet, you can't make it stop... because you really don't want to make it stop.

For, it is those thoughts... this silence... that keeps you from feeling so lonely.

Tell me.
Have you ever felt alone in a full room?
