Just Hand Me The Damn Controller Already
Sadia grabbed a can of root beer out of her boyfriend’s fridge. “So I heard that print shop over in Lafayette is hiring. They’re looking for someone to answer phones or something.” She popped the lid and took a sip. “You should look into it.”
“Eh, I dunno. I don’t really wanna be chained to a desk job like that, ya know?” Dominic, her boyfriend, was sitting on his parents’ couch, repeatedly hitting the X button on his controller to skip through a cutscene in the game he was playing.
Sadia sat in the armchair next to him. “A desk job is better than working at Taco Hell for the
Ive become addicted to the fantasy. The sweet whispers that tell me Im beautiful. That I deserve happiness. That Im never alone. And I believe itfor a while. Because I desperately need it. I need to feel cared for. I need to feel loved. I need the sweet embrace that assures me that Im not alone. I need the gentle stroking of my hair that relaxes me. I need the caresses that let me forget realityfor a while.

I dream of your voice
Comforting
Reassuring
Relaxing
I dream of your arms

Kissing

I dream of you
Relaxing my body
Protecting me from darkness
Promising never to leave
And then I wake up
Stressed
Exposed
Alone

To describe my love.
My heart tends to dream
Of days without lonliness,
Or darkness, or pain.

Musings On a Lonely Night
I sit alone in my room,
just as I've sat so many nights before.
Hoping, waiting, longing,
for you to walk though my door.
You don't even appear
in my dreams anymore.
Before I met you,
I was alone and ignored.
How many different ways are there to tell you,
"You're the one I adore"?
I'd give up the world
just to be with you once more.
I'm from my family.
From my mother, Beverly.
From my father, William.
From my sister and brothers.
I'm from food.

From chocolate with Mommy.
From candy with Jenny.
I'm from overcoming disability.
From my dad's hearing loss.
From my mom and sister's ADD.
From my brothers' autism.
I'm from my friends.
