My New School

on and off, on and off ....the switch goes.
why I have no friends and no foes.

life seems like a polarized sepia tinted picture
why do i look around for frnds even while sitting in a lecture

HE turns back and I wonder whi is he smiling? oO
I look away in confusion and pretend to look at the ceiling

I sit alone fiddling with fork, at the lunch table
He gives me strange looks ; this makes me more feeble

They are together and happy They laugh They giggle
why everything around me seems like a riddle

everyday I do nothing but complete the assignment
I'm still adjusting with strangers and walking on the 'wet cement'

Its been a week no One seems wiling to talk
except him who smiles at me even when he is among his folks

I wonder why I'm not able to smile back?
In library i watch him behind those book racks

he walks in the empty class....empty!!...not exactly for him
I'm still busy writing ; he comes and adjusts my glass's rim

shocked and startled , I move away
He smiles again and says

"I'm Sorry!!......I just came to talk to you"
"I would like to be your friend......would you too?!? "
