feeling lonely
between other people
doesn’t make me sad
but willing to flee
elsewhere

crowds are for
all the other people
that aren’t like me

feeling wanted
when I don’t need to talk
but am allowed to
when I like to
sometimes

crowds are for
all the other people
that don’t like being alone

feeling lately
that there are just
a few other people
like me
fortunately.
