Alone, yet still shining,
Excluded from a circle,
Yet not diminished by the exclusion.
Drifting beyond familiar constellations,
Yet burning with its own light,
Knowing that loneliness and greatness
Sometimes travel together.
Without self-pity,
Carrying a quiet radiance
Through the isolation.
No longer defined by exclusion,
But by its inherent nature of light,
Remaining luminous
Even after being cast out.
