Alone in A Crowd

I may not be an island
Surrounded by the sea
But I am still desolate
Alone and truly empty

People are all around me
I'm alone within the crowd
The world is gray and quiet
When it should be bright and loud

The sun shines on my neighbor
While a cloud adorns my head
And although the children laugh
I hear weeping where I tread

The morning brings new beginnings
But for me it's just another day
All the world seems to smile
Why does my sadness seem to stay

Each ray of sun brings others hope
but for me it just brings pain
Go away cheerful sun
I just want it to rain
