Can I sit with you?
Thank you
For not staring at me
Like I am an alien
Like a poor cripple
Whom you are the only crutch
Thank you
For smiling
That real, genuine smile
The smile which says
I've been there too
I've been new
And if not it says
I understand
Thank you for not shutting me out
Like I am a different species
Someone who will never get your inside jokes because you won't
Tell them to me
Someone who will not be excluded from your group chats
Your hangouts
Someone who can talk in your circle
Like a real, other member.
Thank you
For not saying 'no'
