Poem : Don't Ignore Us

The Others are the people that
Don’t fit into a group
They never come into the house
They sit out on the stoop
They never get involved in games
In sports or recreation
They’d rather sit and play alone
And ignore team formation

The Others are the singular
The standalones, the only
The sort that like their company
And never seem that lonely
The isolated, separate,
The outsiders, the peerless
The proud of their dividedness,
The hopeless, and the fearless

The Others are exceptional
Solitary, unique
You know you’ve met an Other by
The way in which they speak
Their present may be troubled but
Their future will be blazing
The innovations they create
Will make our world amazing.
