Do You Live In A Community

Do you live in a community where you feel you do not belong Where your bond to those who live in close proximity to say the least not strong You do not attend community meetings and you not many wish to know And you only get a blank stare when to some you say hello? You feel most of this is your own fault you choose things to be this way And for not being part of the community there is some price to pay That if you feel like a stranger that's the way you choose it to be Shyness to you can be a disadvantage that's how it does seem to me Do you live in a community where you are an almost unknown Where an aura of anonymity around you has only grown In the previous town you lived in you too felt a stranger there And you will feel like an outsider when you move on to live elsewhere Since you came to live in this town one friend you did not gain And since you feel like an outsider as an outsider you'll remain.
