the narration of finding oneself surrounded by sound, by noise, by people, by commotion, but feeling absolutely, inexorably alone.

I know this well, I feel it in your metaphors, the impassable wall, the hidden self, finding silence in the noise.

Thank you for sharing, @iamflow, I know you are not necessarily the narrator here, but, please know, the narrator is not alone in this world. A world where people prioritize so many minor things, there is much to be found in silence, I know.

Believe in you, mate, and thank you for the share.
