Overlooked

Dread clutched her throat As captains picked their teams Even though she had desire She never allowed herself to dream He watched them divide up Into groups of ten He was number twenty-one It was clear, no one needed him Friends all married and on their way She still lived at her childhood home No one had to tell her....overlooked She would trudge through life, alone Always weird, definitely different Coworkers are like bullies on the playground The words at recess passed with time But the shunning in the break room, reverberates the silent sound Out of all the people one could have picked No one would even notice the throng below the idols Stepped on, used as ladder rungs So the important can ride the stallion with bejeweled bridles ....to the OVERLOOK Position is everything In a system that values power But humility accepts the position Without the compulsion to cower ...to man Written by Trudy Schrader on 04-11-2019 Note: I felt overlooked for most of my life, until Daddy God showed me that HE overSEES everything that concerns me. I don't always like where He has led me, but I would not change a thing....and I am eternally grateful :)
