Feeling Faceless...

My happiness,my property
And yet so elusive!
Friendless in a crowd,
Anonymity's curse.
Existence defined by comparison,
Recognition and distinction.
A sudden disconnect
Within and without...
Pointlessness!
Loved but forgotten
In fast busy lives,
A love mystifying
Or imagined?
A sadness overwhelming and utterly painful
So painful its numbing...
And then the cynic raises his head,
Unabashed.
The soul within is solitary
And faceless.
And then one learns to walk alone.
Great minds and souls walked alone...
With just their shadow that walked with them.
They liked it that way
For their shadow was their only true friend...
Intellectuality a sham!
Anger and disregard brewing within
The system dualistic,
No breeding ground for friendship...
And here I stand amidst all this
Waiting for you,
Feeling faceless...
