There once was a boy alone on New Years Eve.
He had many friends.
And places to go.
But no gilded invitation.
So, stubborn and forlorn.
The boy sat in his room.
Alone.
And sulked.
Wishing his friends had made more of an effort to include him.
To cater to him.
Pamper him.
Faun on him and make him feel special.
In his room he resented and stewed.
Quite lonely and sad he waited for something outside to prompt him to leave.
Even though he very much wanted to leave.
He did not know that sometimes, included or excluded.
Invitation or ignorance.
You must make the first step out into the world.
To see the smiling faces of friends.
To feel the wind on your cheek.
To hear the whisper of spring turning into summer.
Life cannot seek you out.
If you have shut out the world.
