Where I Am

I wonder where I am right now
Or even if I'm somewhere at all
I want to be there but I'm stuck where I am
Rooted to a single spot alone.

But even if I am here
Even I will have to try
To see if I am still visible
When no one else can see me.

But why is it like that?
I can tell I'm still in touch with the world
Is the world moving on without me?
Or maybe the world is not in touch with me, perhaps?

I call out to someone nearby
To someone I believe I can trust
To validate my existence
But what if they aren't there either?

And the times where there is no one
That I can rely on to make sure I haven't completely disappeared
I can only hope that I remain, even all alone
Others may go mad from the isolation.

But that would explain a lot
Maybe I've already snapped
It's certainly a possibility
I have been like this for quite some time, you see.

Loneliness is something that people fear
Humans are social creatures, after all
But I coexist with loneliness
So the only thing for me to fear is myself.
