Acceptance Denied

I stand without,
isolated and lonely;
an onlooker,
peering enviously
at those within;
longing for inclusion
in this exclusive group.

They stroll ahead
confidently;
acceptance
a simple formality:

I drop behind - rejected.
casualty of prejudice:
shunned for my differences:
unacceptable:
unwelcome.

Instinctively,
I recognise extinction -
my future.

antonyms used:
without - within
inclusion - exclusion
behind - ahead
formality - casualty
instinct - extinct
