On the Teeter Totter

Do you ever feel like you don’t belong
with a group of people you should
belong with – 
Should be okay with?
But you feel yourself standing there
Watching, not experiencing.
Viewing something you should
be enjoying but you stand
Blending in with the background
Feeling invisible and gone
what it should be like.
It is disconnected,
disjointed and distant.
You try to join but as your
Energy emerges,
their’s retreats…
A teeter totter of energy,
of feeling good and bad
but no one sees it except you. 
Because you are the only one watching. 
the only one there, yet not.
the only one who feels like
they don’t belong.
