Once you are absorbed by the crowd, you forget the yearning of solitude
Cradled by the multitude, the thoughts go through a tumultuous time
The intoxication of seeking approval by the myriad possibilities that are promised
Frenzied delights the heart racing towards the masquerading euphoria
Ineffable persuasions lead to the enormous dome full of masked realities
It was unexpected for the soul to feel alone after the crowd promised fair participation
Chances are that the prejudiced vitality has been misleading the soul all this while
Wandering here, looking for that identity, which has been erased unceremoniously
It feels a void when reality dawns on the individual, of a mysterious seeking
Where the thoughts have been shepherded into the confines of a barren territory
