Here but not

I'm here but I'm not.
I'm a part of a group, but I'm not.
I sit and listen to foreign tongues and every so often a native speaks to me.
Sometimes, they translate others they go on their own accord.
But I still feel separated and alone.

....... This is my daily life here. I come, I sit, I eat and I listen to the words I don't understand nor will I ever. No one tells me what is being said and no one bothers to speak in a tongue I can. I understand comfort but what about mine? How am I suppose to feel like I belong when I can't understand what is going on around me? I feel uncomfortable and I want to cry because I'm not connected to this family. When company is around, I'm the odd ball out not understanding anything being said. I'm not a part of this and I never will be. =(
