Was feeling like,
The odd one out.
No one hears,
Even if I shout.
Laughs down the hall,
Don’t include me.
I was standing there.
Didn’t you see?
Out for drinks,
After work.
Not invited,
No second look.
Didn’t get the Memo.
No email chain.
Missed out on,
All the fun again.
I tried to approach,
Tried to say, “Hi!”
Still ignoring me,
Passed over and by.
Got used to alone,
The quiet and peace.
Grown accustomed to,
My new life’s lease.
Time marches on,
Change or don’t.
Yesterday for me,
I’ve outgrown.
