"High" School

Strolling under the vaults

of eternal misery:

The school-hallways

puts my heartbeat to a halt

 

Eyes scanning intensely,

seeking out cover from the wild beasts inside

looking at me

with their judgmental eyes.

 

Hidden in class like a gem under a stone,

I sit always alone

in the blackhole

that is my imagination.

 

An outcast, a stranger--

I see their eyes,

and the young love between girls and guys,

i see so passionately

through my glass-window,

admiring the love, the light,

the life--pleasant or unpleasant

still lighter than my darkness.

How they are so humane,

yet I'm left alone with pain.

 

When will this pain end,

the dreadful feeling of not fitting in?

or is this all I'll have,

all I'll have for eternity?

 

I will peek through the window again

and see their faces with radiant happiness

so I can paste it onto my own

in my imagination!
