Outside the crowd,
Afraid to stand out.
Outside the crowd,
Wanting to go in,
Outside looking in.

Want to join in but It takes,
A leap of faith, and a hand
Stretched out,to pull you in
To go from the outside in.

And now you belong,
From the outside in,
And your heart sings,
Now I don't have to feel alone,
I've gone from the outside in.

© Amy D., Troy, OH

The author's comments:
As someone who has personally gone from "the outside in", don't be afraid to reach out to someone sitting alone, or to take that leap of faith and try and join in.
You might be surprised.
