Chapter 1: No Friends
No Friends
In a classroom filled with twenty-three,
They all believed they were friends with me.
I was the monitor, the one they chose,
But my heart followed a different road.
While children laughed and ran outside,
I walked where quiet feelings hide.
Near the road, beneath the sky,
A lonely stray would always lie.
With biscuits in my trembling hand,
I walked to him the best I can.
His tired eyes would softly shine,
As if his silent heart met mine.
I didn’t know what was wrong or right,
I only knew his eyes were bright.
In that small moment, strange yet true,
It felt like friendship slowly grew.
Then one day a story found my soul,
Of Hachiko waiting in the cold.
Ten long years he stayed the same,
Still waiting for a friend who never came.
My heart broke reading every line,
His lonely wait felt just like mine.
I cried for days, I couldn’t pretend,
That love like that could ever end.
But when I told the world around,
No tears, no feelings could be found.
They heard the story and walked away,
As if those words meant nothing to say.
That was the day I came to see,
How different this small heart could be.
While others forgot what they once knew,
Those silent eyes still felt so true.
Maybe someday, somewhere above,
I’ll meet a soul who understands love.
Not perfect, not strong, not wise or grand,
Just someone with a gentle hand.
And even if no one stays with me,
I know where my heart will always be.
With silent paws and faithful eyes,
Under the same wide, endless skies. 🐾
