You Can Belong Here

December 13, 2021

On the outside
staring through glass
calling, to no avail
feeling like you’re second class

When people talk
you can’t understand
you try to speak, but
they dismiss you out of hand

Others get it
smiling, laughing with a friend
you want nothing more than to feel
like you don’t have to pretend

So you move on
searching for someplace
where you can be more
than just another face

But we will welcome you
You don’t have to fear
Please, come in and join us
Because you can belong here
