Locked Out

Locked out yet again,
Always seeming
to be on the outside looking in...
I never seem to have the key,
even when it's right in front of me.
Trapped between a rock
and a hard place;
Failure seems to mock
my saving grace.
Trying my hardest to get in,
Still no success in the end.
Knocking on doors, crashing into walls,
Nothing steady to prevent my slips and falls.
I'm doing all I can
to save face,
But there's no helping hand,
no one to help quicken my pace.
So I have to do this all alone,
Figure it out step by step, all on my own.
And I put my soul under lock and key,
so that no understands me-but me.
I've tried endlessly to break the window,
but there's a secret to it that I don't yet know.
So here I stand,
stuck on the outside looking in,
with no consolation, and nary a friend.
Locked out, yet again...
