Searching for identity.

Walking along with the crowd,

I see myself, then ask,
Where am I going?

I run with the crowd,

But stand alone, then ask,

What am I achieving?

I see the same as the crowd,

But perceive differently, then ask,

Why is it happening?

I laugh with the crowd,

But cry alone, then ask,

How am I reacting?

I sleep with the crowd,

But dream alone, then ask,

When was I sharing?

I talk with the crowd,

But discuss alone, then ask,

Whom am I trusting?

I behave as the crowd,

But act alone, then ask,

Whose part am I playing?

I can only see the crowd,

Still searching alone, then ask,

Do I possess an identity of my own?
