Friends

I don’t like soda.

I told that to the magician.

He then hypnotized me.

Into liking the bursting and sugar.

My friends in the crowd cheer and smile.

I like soda now.

Just like them.

I shake my head and the crowd disappears.

I was drinking water the whole time.

I really thought it was soda.

I really thought I had friends.
