together, we're normal

it turns out, i did not get suspended.
the security cameras picked up
the boys picking on jungkook,
and the principal concluded
i was only defending a friend.

but even then, i felt suspended.
suspended from everyone.
suspended on a new level,
suspending in the darkness.

anybody i looked at was scared.
anybody i touched would flinch.
anybody i talked to would whimper.

anybody who looked at me,
saw me as different.

except jungkook.
jungkook started being warm again.
he wanted to play house,
and he wanted to play with action figures.
he told me he hasn't heard rumours lately.
he told me he's feeling good.
and that's good, that's really good!

he's been closer to me than before,
he likes holding my hand,
and putting his hands in my hair.
i like it too.

he tells me,
he doesn't feel alone.
that he feels
he finally has somebody there for him,
that he feels

normal.
