We walk among the many, alone in our thoughts. We struggle to breath in a city filled with so many. Each step is an ache in my heart. One person, then another, stumbling into me, reaching for me, asking for one thing or another. I walk among the throne of humanity,but I am alone in my nightmare. My mind playing my anxiety on an endless loop. Threatening to tell those around me, I am not normal. I do not fit. My friend feels me mentally pulling away and she grabs my hand. A reminder that I am not alone. I am loved. I am on the precipice of falling down into a deep depression, but right now, here in this place, I am seen by this one friend and for now that has to be enough.
