Alone in a Crowd

Most people have probably felt alone in a crowd. Like there are so many people around you but none of them know what's going on with you.
None of them understand you.
None of them know what yo're going through.

But is it not possible that the person standing next to you in this crowd is thinking the very same thing? We're always saying to ourselves how alone we are when we don't even put out the effort to become...well, not alone.
I'm not saying that we need to strip down naked and show everyone in the world every scar on our body; rip open our chest to reveal our crumbling hearts. But what if we just gave them a peak?
Just a small peak at the things we go through alone?
And I think that we can all find someone that is able to surpass numbness and ignorance and cringe at our bleeding wrists.
There's always going to be those people that feel nothing when they get a glimpse of blood on our hands, but there has to be someone out there that feels something.

How can we say that we are alone when there are so many other people thinking and feeling the exact same way? It's like we blame others for their ignorance when really we are the ones being ignorant. Ignorant of all the other people that we can relate to.
All of the other people that sing the same song that we do every night.
Allof the other people that run through a seemingly starless city thinking that they are alone.

But we are only as alone as we make ourselves...
