Outsider

You're on the outside looking in,
and the ceremony will soon begin;
but here your sorrow has no place,
for did you even know his face?  

The alien member in family fold,
"no room here" is what you're told.
A desperate want to be invited,
but you're not part of the great united.  

So drift away then, to solitude.
Just don't expect them to include;
and there's no reason for this strife!
This door slammed shut within your life.  

There's never a stronger message sent:
No offers of help and no assistance.
The absent open arms are clear,
for you my friend do not belong here.
