the outsider

the door shut and for the millionth time
she was on the outside looking in
watching as her life passed
right before her eyes
no matter how hard she wished
she just couldn’t get in
blinking back salty tears from silent cries
unaware that it was all within reach
silent cries turn uncontrollable sobs
when all she needed to do
to walk into her life
was to reach out
and turn the door knob
her limbs were leaden
too heavy to lift
her fears told her she didn’t possess the strength
so for the millionth time she sat on the outside
watching as her life passed her by
drenched in her tears
paralyzed by her fears
