Me vs. Me

Look at the presentation and focus. Biochem stuff, cool. Maybe he is gay. Stop. He had an awakened moment last summer. He said it. Everyone is looking at you. Blink! Is that why he’s so private? Pay. Attention. I hope he’s ok. Everyone keeps staring. Why do I care if people are staring? People are noticing. Say something. Who cares, you’re high. Just laugh or something. Keep thinking like this. Bring in all the bad thoughts. Maddy is talking to you, nod your head. My heart is speeding up. Ask for help. People will feel uncomfortable. You need water. Don’t be an inconvenience. Stand up and go to your room. Don’t make a scene. Why can’t I just do what I want? Stay put. Nobody knows who I am because I mask myself. Look at the screen. Who am I? Look! Am I me or what others see? I don’t know what’s right. Keep your mouth shut and pay attention. Tell April that you aren’t ok. Stop making this about yourself. My ex-boyfriend might be gay. I want to reach out. My heart is beating. Show a reaction. My heart is beating really fast. Don’t- Why can’t I just do what I want without worrying about the others. What is the real me? Who is the real me talking right now? I don’t know what’s happening. Who am I? WHO AM I? Don’t forget to blink.
