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

Congratulations Nina, hsdance.gif

I think this was a very difficult challenge for which I could find no inspiration.
Your poem is cohesive and moving, and richly deserving of  :claps: the award!

Dear Nina,

A good lesson in how to write a poem about being excluded which brings one right into the fold !

I have to admit, you do "bleak" very well !

Love
Alan
