Outside, Looking In

things to be ware of

A babe discarded

Cannot feel loved and cherished


A child ignored

Will not feel valued or precious


A girl or boy, unwanted

Does not learn the merits of self worth


Young adults, disregarded

Fail to see their place in the world


A woman, grown without love

Finds it hard to love herself


A man, raised amid disdain and scorn

Forever seeks approval


Such people, lost in life’s void,

Tend to look in from the outside


For the lonely

The world is a lonely place.
