The Outsider

The outsider,
alway's looking in,
trying to fit in
a proper place

Instead,
like a prop in a movie,
there for show,
so others will look good

The outsider,
never able to be
what the part called for

Instead,
a spare part,
kept around for good measure,
or a measure of someone's else's
good
struggling to be worth more than
an empty cup

Very sad, Deb. I'm sure many can relate to that feeling of being an outsider. Very well expressed!

You my friend could never be an outsider.  This was wonderfully presented as usual and says alot about how we take some people (and situations) for granted.  Take a bow my friend.  Great writing.
