Finding a Friend

 I could not speak your language

I did not know your rules

Everything felt foreign

to an alien at school

Those days are long gone now

though I thought they would never end
now I have no problems 
speaking english making friends
Dark and haunting memories 
of loneliness And fear 
frustration and confusion
have begun to disappear
but one thing I will remember 
one thing will stay the same 
The moment that you smiled at me
and called me by my name
