Always on the outside

I’ve always been on the outside

Looking in

Always missing out

On other people’s fun

I was the loner; the quiet one

The one who didn’t fit

Always: on the outside; looking in

I’ve always been the quiet one

Waiting for

The chance to say my piece

But way too scared to interrupt

Never the noisy one

Having all the fun

Always: on the outside looking in

I was always the shy one

Feeling down

Being quiet and keeping 'mum'

Waiting for the right time

But never finding it

Watching from the sidelines

Always: on the outside; looking in

I’m still the one on the outside

Hoping for

The chance to make it right

But it’s too late now

The light is growing dim

Waiting for that moment

Always: on the outside; looking in!
