The First Time I Felt Truly Alone (Expanded)

Alone in the crowd, a sea of heads,
Silent screams, my inner threads.
Isolation’s company, a shadow’s clone,
Heart’s moan, truly alone.

Not the kind of alone where no one’s around.
The kind where everyone is,
And none of them see you.
You could vanish right there
Between the laughter and the small talk
And no one would notice the empty space.
