Excellence Award in the 'Word Zone 2016' competition

The people in their groups,
All have a place to go,
But there is one little outcast,
Who stands all alone.

The one walks slowly,
As if they don't really care,
But this one has nowhere to go, no one to see,
No joy to share.

Is there someone,
To share in the pain?
Just one soul nearby,
That alas, also has no turns in the game.

Or perhaps there is no one,
Just leaving that one behind,
Shadows consumed with sadness,
Leaving them dark and blind.
