                                                    He sits at the back of the classroom 

               Wondering, pondering...When will all this madness ever end?

                              He asks himself a question, "Will I ever have a friend?".

                                               This poem is not meant to be deep

                                                               It is meant to reach

                                                      Inside your soul, inside your mind

                                              Don't you see? It is not easy being alone

                                          For all he knows he may never have a phone

                                                     But you see, he once did live happy

                                                         His mother was his happiness

                                                  But she too was ripped away from him

                                                   She is not dead but neither is she alive

                                   She has changed into something horrible, inexplicable

                          His sadness is unexplainable, his happiness non-existent 

                                          But he will be persistent, for he does not give up

                                                  He tries everyday to try and hide the pain 

                                  But everyday, sorrow and darkness consumes a part of him

                                               A part of him which he cannot get back

               Until finally, he becomes the darkness and sorrow that once consumed him

                                            At the end of the day, he goes into his room

                                                Sits in the darkest corner...and cries

                                  His tears are silent, but that just makes it more violent

                                         He looks in the mirror with his blood-shot eyes

                             Wondering, Pondering...When will all this madness ever end?

                                   He whispers to himself, " I will never have a friend."
