Hello, I'm looking for poems about exclusion - anything that generally involves being excluded. If you could also include ones wherein the poet discusses his/her feelings about being excluded (for whatever reason). I can't find any in the request pages. I couldn't find any proper poems via Google either. Thank you in advance. A Teasdale for your time. :)
Old Love and New
In my heart the old love
Struggled with the new,
It was ghostly waking
All night through.
Dear things, kind things
That my old love said,
Ranged themselves reproachfully
Round my bed.
But I could not heed them,
For I seemed to see
Dark eyes of my new love
Fixed on me.
Old love, old love,
How can I be true?
Shall I be faithless to myself
Or to you?
