making new friends

i make
a commitment to myself
to make
one new friend
everyday
of the week. but it's
not going
well.
after approaching
people
and introducing myself,
they ask
what's wrong with me.
i tell them nothing,
i just want to be their friend.
now
i have a black eye,
a swollen
lip, and two chipped
teeth.
my ribs are bruised
and
there's a bump on my
head
that's bleeding.
friends are hard to come
by these days.
