Outside the Barricade

Outside the Barricade

Waiting just outside the light, how can I persuade?
Look for an invitation, why is it so late?
Dreaming of participation outside the barricade.

Intention is to join in, but how can I invade?
Wanting is not a sin, does anyone debate?
Waiting just outside the light, how can I persuade?

Ragged old convictions have left me so afraid.
Must be brave, try again, encore at the gate.
Dreaming of participation outside the barricade

Emotions are so fragile, on cue they all cascade
Like rivers running free, command them to abate.
Waiting just outside the light, how can I persuade?

There must be some reason that I am delayed,
Is it an illusion, this violent touch of hate?
Dreaming of participation outside the barricade.

Hold fast to all your privilege, how can I invade?
Inadequate persuasion seems to be my fate.
Waiting just outside the light, how can I persuade?
Dreaming of participation outside the barricade.


Villanelle, more or less.

Beautiful Kay you out did yourself this time. :)

This is a sadly beautiful poem. I know that feeling of being on the outside looking in, but most of the barriers I encountered I built all by myself.
