LONELY MOMENTS

Lonely people in a crowded room
Dance shadows on the wall
People trying to connect
At local town dance hall

Spin spin world makes me giddy
Though i am sober as can be
I only see shadow people
And no shadows comfort me

Only the music dims the pain
as you look for someone to smile
And the night is long
But it lasts for just a while

Such are the ways
Such were the days
Of the lonely ones
In the crowd

Great, insightful writing. I can really relate, esp. thinking back to when I was much younger, and even more shy than now.
Fantastic poem!
