Have you?

Have you ever felt lonely?
Surrounded by people, their movement, their noises..

Have you ever found none to talk to?
In a crowd of exchanged 'Hello's and 'Hi's..

Have you ever waited for a real evaluation?
Shuffling through a list of comments and compliments..

Have you ever felt all the more alienated, unprobed, untouched?
Scorching under those piercing, judgemental stares..

Have you ever found words meaningless?
Further emptying the emptiness by their own vacuum..

Have you?
Have you ever?
