the kid picked last in gym class
the only one left out of the joke
forgotten, if not for disdain
invisible, if not for disgust
desolate, vacant
castaway

That is one of the reasons I like religion.
What is the phrase?
Something like 'I will build my church from the corner stone the builders discarded' and other lovely thoughts like
'He who is last shall be first and he who is first shall be last'.Even if it never happens, it's nice to hear someone say it.

I have about 5 things I ever say and this is one of them.
From the Gospel according to Thomas....
Jesus saw children who were being suckled. He said to his disciples:These children who are being suckled are like those who enter the Kingdom. They said to Him: Shall we then, being children, enter the Kingdom? Jesus said to them: When you make the two one, and when you make the inner as the outer and the outer as the inner, and the above as the below, and when you make the male and female into a single one, so the male will not be male and the female not be female, when you make eyes in the place of an eye and a hand in the place of a hand, and a foot in the place of a foot and an image in the place of an image, then shall you enter the Kingdom.

picking up the pieces I suppose, which makes me think of this quote:
The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills."

Well, I did have a few friends, but even my friendship with them didn't wipe out the impact of what your amazing piece of writing describes.
