Outside looking in

I am here, yet feel as
  if I am a spectator.
People greet me with
  smiling faces
but return to the familiar
  places.

After the greeting
 I stand
awkwardly and alone.

Laughter and friendships
  surround me
yet I stand
  outside and cold.

There is no familiar for me.
Only empty smiles and
  greetings.
I long for friendships
  but I don't know
how to reach and be
  that familiar person.

I know people will
  be surprised
that I feel this
  alone.
Its hard to let go
  of what is comfortable.

Stretch and I too
  will try.
