The soft melody and gentle harmony of the song began to blare in her ear as she cranked her player up to maximum volume, wishing to shut out the noisy crowd walking past her, as she sat on the cold concrete floor. She was staring into space. The song that she was listening to described her.
Face lost in a crowd, feet wandering empty streets...
Voice crying out loud, heart aching with every beat...
As the chorus played, a tear began to fall from her eye. She wiped it away quickly. There was no reason to cry. She thought that she has cried enough.
She leaned her head on the blue cement wall as she forced her mind to drift off to her self-created utopia. It was useless. The burden that weighed so heavily on her chest was too much to ignore, too obvious to escape.
She breathed out a deep sigh. "I'm invisible," she thought to herself when she caught glance of several of her peers walking past her.
As if snapping into attention, her mind wandered back to the lyrics of the song playing in her ear.
Soul battered and bruised, pride wounded and left for dead.
Ears deaf to good news, eyes tear-drenched and sleepless red.
"I'm useless," she chastised herself, her lips moving to say the words, but no sound came out.
"You're unloveable. There's no point in living. You're nothing," a voice whispered in her head.
She believed the words echoing through her brain. She stood up and walked across the concrete corridor.
No one knew her pain. No one knew her thoughts. They knew her demise. She had chosen to end her search... leaving the concrete corridor to fall on concrete ground.
The song on her player continued to blare its soft melody as a crowd gathered around her.
Someone searching, searching for someone
Everywhere and endlessly.
Wishing, waiting...
Could there be someone searching for someone searching?
