Good Game, John
All the games you've been playin', that's how you learned to play me so well. Stuck in your video game world, you forgot I was real.

Warmth
"Come dance with me." I looked up, the gym lights blinding me momentarily. My eyes took a few seconds to adjust but when they were used to the light, I realized who was standing there, asking me to dance. It was him, the boy I came to know in July, the boy I loved in secret.

"Don't look at them, don't think about them, don't even for a second think you have a chance at feeling normal." The thoughts that ran through my mind daily while I pretended to be someone I wasn't.
