Chapter 1 - Smile For You

 
 
I haven't smiled in forever, you know,
And if I did, I'd tell you so.
You made me laugh, you made me smile,
But it seems for this year, you've been gone for a while.
I frown when you sit with your friends at a table,
I don't cry, for I fear, I'd not be able,
To stop if I did.
I'm just a sad little kid.
I sit alone for lunch,
But I have a hunch.
That you know that I'm sad,
And it just makes you mad,
That your friends don't see,
How unhappy I be.
You've all know me for the same amount of time,
Since we all stood side-by-side in the kinder-garden line.
You turned to me,
And smiled sweetly.
You told me your short little name,
But if I remember, I didn't pronounce it the same.
But sadly, now I wear a mask,
All though it's still easy to stay on task.
But staying off task is an easier thing,
All I do is sit and wait, for that bell to ring.
I play with my hair, and I look back at you,
You're reading a book, I suppose, I should be too.
You and I, have been together from begging to end,
But now our friendship is beginning to bend.
All I can do is sit and wait, for our friendship to break,
All though I still watch you while I am awake.
I try to smile. I really do!
But, I fear, It won't happen unless you do too.
We sit in study hall, I watch you like a hawk.
Everybody else just sits and talks.
Sometimes I try to get you to talk to me,
But when I do, you just leave me be.
I fear, if I do not smile,
I won't be able to while on while.
Sometimes I wish, You'd notice me, Like you, I do,
So that I can smile just for you.
