On The Outside

Standing solitary on the outside,
Looking wistfully in once again.
Wanting deeply within my heart,
To be thought of as a true friend.

At times the door is often open,
Then closes after just a little bit.
I always wonder if each person,
Keeping it closed is a hypocrite.

They show one face to all others,
But it is not the face which I see.
A total detachment is what I feel,
To this especially painful degree.

Genuinely trying to remain polite,
Helping the person I see in need.
I feel inside it shall never change,
No vision for me to ever succeed.

There appears to be a large group,
Clearly not wanting to include me.
Whenever I try to extend my hand,
I then find this door closed on me.

Loving God with all my heart and,
I will continually try my very best.
God wanted all of us treated equal,
No one person held above the rest.

Gazing in the mirror at my image,
Wondering why the discard of me.
Why certain people try to pretend,
Trying to hide so others won't see.

If you should observe these faces,
Watch carefully what ever you do.
Don’t turn away like I did and cry,
Never let these phonies hurt you.

This was never part of God’s plan,
For He will set everyone straight.
One day we all have to go through,
Each record kept at heaven's gate.

There written in ink all our deeds,
Permanent in God's books above.
He will decide when we get there.
If we really carried heartfelt love.
