The Outcast


The laughter and voices,
Floating across the distance,
To a lone figure,
Dwelling on his grievance.

He sits there and watches,
Alone in his silence and solitude,
A few stray glances pass over him,
But he is only one face out of the multitude.

Then he turns away,
Entering his mind as a dragon would enter it's lair,
And sinks deeper and deeper,
Into a melancholy despair.

For he is an outcast,
A nobody, a page in a book on a shelf,
He is not wanted around,
Forever adrift by himself.
