alone time is a luxury that
i haven't been able to afford
no matter how much i plan ahead
scrimp and save
there's always something to do
and someone to do it with
but it's been so long since
i've heard myself thinking outloud
that im beginning to wonder
if i've lost my voice
or if its merely muffled
by the moans and groans of the day
and i know that this is the life i chose
and this is the path i opted to take
but the fact that i have to ask someone else
can they hear my heartbeat
because i'm drowning in white noise
and dense crowds
is a problem
