I am never alone,
or always alone.
I am alone in a crowd,
I am crowded in an isolation chamber.
Alone is only a thought, crowded is only a thought,
You think you are alone, and so you are,
You think you are not alone and you are not,
being alone is a matter of choice,
The choice of which thought to hold.
Being alone can scare you,
being in a crowd can scare you.
You can be scared by people or by their absence.
You can be scared, when alone, to realize you are not alone,
you can be scared, when surrounded, to realize there's no one there.
