Alone?

Sitting alone

With no one to talk to

Sitting alone

Listening to others converse

Sitting alone

Alone with only my thoughts

 

Alone in the room

Familiar faces smile

But I am alone

Thinking, plotting, planning

Eyes to the brim with tears

Sad and depressed, I am alone

 

No, not any more

I tell myself

No one to talk to

But I am not alone

Thinking, plotting, planning

They are unaware of this

 

For I am not alone

A voice helps me

Thinking, plotting, planning

One by one silenced

I now have a friend

I am not alone

The character in the poem describes a scenario when he taps to his inner voice as the echoes of him thinking bounce in his being.

[Jesse Schewe]

I like how the piece transfers from being alone to not being alone. With a feeling behind it that I had as if I was the one in the poem.
