Alone

My life in slow motion
Like swimming through syrup
Life all around
It's full speed ahead
The sound dulls to a roar
Echoes in my ear
When I walk
They separate
Not with awe nor fear
But as if a ghost walked the halls
I seem far off
A veil surrounds me
A bubble made real
Nothing else seems so
The mass of faces
Naught but a dream
So now it's just me
Alone

beautiful, I love the ending "now it's just me, alone" though the "nothing else seems so" line was kind of cut short... I don't quite get that part. still, 5/5

I loved it, it summed up lonliness perfectly, in an intriguing sort of way. A really amazing poem.

I liked this poem. I was reminded of the sound of a distant train whistle as you walked all alone on a deserted road....in other words, you get a 4/5 for this. I can't wait to read your other works!

I liked the way this poem flowed from word to word. You didn't try to make anything rhyme and it sounded natural. Good job!
