Sitting Alone in the Crowd

19/11/2020 – Poem a Day Compilation



Sitting alone in the crowd

Watching the happy faces,

The warm embraces,

The eyes shining so proud.



I pick up my bags

And head through security

Soon I will be free

But for now, time lags.



There’s no one to greet me

At the end of my trip

I must get a grip

And acknowledge I’m solitary.



I head to the station

To wait for the train

The day has been a drain,

I need a vacation.



I sit quietly by myself

and hide behind my book

Knowing I have to cook,

Wondering what’s on the shelf.



I’m not sure I’ll have the motivation –

I may just fall in a heap,

Dinner will surely keep –

And it’s not worth the aggravation.
