Alone in that crowd
#AloneInCrowd
I stood surrounded by friends and well-wishers
Celebrating my success, shouting loud cheers,
I stood with the jumping crowd
That punched the roof with joy and sound
The trophy of mine was in one of their hands
My best friends , my best clan
Yet I stand alone in a cocoon in a shell
Shielded from all as I note it well
Memories of loneliness , days of pain
A life lived in struggle , walking, running
Till sweat dropped, tears formed
They were there but busy lot
The gains of friendship I can not recall
If the joy is felt only at winning Bell's sound
So I stand alone longing for quietness
To spend some time with no names or place
Just me being my race and the people who never
Claim to be anything but stand behind
Each day , with smile or frown or critic or belief
They are not here for life takes people far
In them I search my support my clan
As my visible clan celebrate the day
I retire in myself and walk away
