On the outside, looking in,

All my friends are happy.

I want to join them,

But I can't ,

Because I'm just an outsider.

My friends finding love,

My friends being confident,

My friends. Are they really?

Are they really my friends?

Or are they just pawns on a chessboard,

Just like me?

No, they are happy.

And me?

I am just an outsider.
