Isolating Oneself in the Crowd

Finding Serenity Amidst the Chaos

In the midst of the endless crowd,

I try to isolate myself.

But wherever I go,

like a shadow that never stops.

The noise and hustle that crawl,

the busyness of life that never stops.

But in the silence of my heart,

I find true serenity.

Amidst the people who keep passing by,

I stand in my own place.

No one knows what's in my heart,

and I let myself be trapped in it.

But don't be mistaken, this is not a defeat,

but a way to find oneself.

In the crowd, I find serenity,

which makes me feel true peace.
