Poetic Challenge 2009: Day 2 / Prompt - an outsider

Lost Outside

Pillow-muffled
sobs ripple
across the dark

Sorrow stabs
a hurtful spear
into her breast

Hollowness invades
laying waste
to spirit

Empty days
aching nights;
she’s no Barbie

Thinks too much
feels too deeply
doesn’t fit

Group outcast
always forgotten
never belonging

Lost outside
looking in
