[bodytext] => I feel like such an outcast Treated like a leper or a pariah Even my so-called friends won't trouble their heads about me And yet it seems such a short time ago when we were inseparable. How did I end up here? Deserted, abandoned and forsaken Left to my own devices My pleas for help fall on deaf ears I beg, I beseech, I implore yet people seem insensitive to my cries. From time to time through the madding crowd I catch a glimpse of a familiar face yet no one comes to my assistance Nobody rallies round giving encouragement or moral support. Strangers show me even less respect elbowing me aside jostling me snubbing the desolate wasteland that once was my ego And all I can do is watch as they leap ahead of me triumphant and victorious as their effective demands gain the upper hand and they taste the sweet smell of success. It isn't that I don't try but others seem to break through in front of me With ease they play their hand well appearing in the right spot at the right time almost by magic cutting the ground from under my feet This must be the loneliest place on earth. Until recently I didn't have a care in the world Life was great! I was having fun Maybe from time to time one of my pals struggled but I knew he'd be alright I knew he'd see it through it in the end. There didn't really seem much point in me lending a hand And now it's my turn and nobody so much as lifts a finger. I stand here bereft of hope almost at the point of despair. I can see someone walking over here Perhaps I'll give it one more shot I'm able to catch their eye They're looking my way now This could be it I'm going to go for it. "Yes?" "Six large beers please, love." Brilliant! Some other sod's turn next.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
