Feelings of an Outsider

Desire and longing

Night and day

This is what I feel

I long or joy denied to me

I desire a life I do not have

With age comes change

Families are started

Children are born

Such things seem not to be my fate

I am cursed to be denied my heart's desire

Instead I must merely walk through life

Lonely yet not alone

Always outside looking in at the happiness of others

I cannot prevent feelings of envy

Try as I might to revel in their joy

I hate that these things elude me

I pray to the goddess for guidance and strength

But in the end the feelings return

I am the outsider

Fated to watch the lives o others

But not truly be a part of it
