nowhere to turn, no one to go to (partner time in gym class)
January 8, 2013
Don’t look at him. Don’t. DON’T.
You should have known this was coming.
Go. Run. They don’t want you here.
Please don’t cry.
Oh god, please don’t cry.
Don’t cry.
Please.
You’re embarassing me.
Tilt your head back, and maybe the tears will drip back into your skull.
Try it. It’s worth a shot.
Come with me. Come.
What has happened?
The children’s faces are so cruel, their hands so cold.
Count the lights on the ceiling. Count the knots in your shoelaces.
Don’t look him in the eye.
Don’t cry.
