The world’s crowded,
But something’s missing,
All the kith and kin are around,
But yet we feel alone.
Though we’re speaking to someone,
We aren’t silent.
We walk along with friends
But yet we walk alone.
People whom we consider
Part and parcel of our lives,
Are they really an integral part of our lives?
People help us through thick and thin.
But do they really help without selfishness?
We face various challenges in life
But very rarely we find friends
Who hold our hands in every circumstance.
Although we pretend to be gathered
By different people around,
But the truth is,
We are always surrounded by loneliness.
