Alone Within (Attempt At A Sonnet)

Surrounded by smiling faces;

Some forced, some real;

You smile back sharing the graces;

Their hands as cold as steel.


Their empty care is as clear as a glass pane

They try so hard to behave

Yet they do not know another’s pain

You may as well exist alone in a cave.


Look around you are not alone!

Just ignore the feeling lass

Keep looking at your phone,

One day their façade will shatter like glass.


Surrounded but feeling solo,

What a world that is so hollow.
