You Are Poem
You are confident and talented
You wonder about the net
You hear the squeek of your sneekers against the court
You see the orange sphere flying from your hands
You want the fans screaming your name
You are confident and talented
You pretend your at half court, going for the shot with three seconds on the clock and your down by two.
You feel the atmosphere change
You touch the ball with your lips and shoot
You worry you'll miss
You cry when you do
You are confident and talented
You understand it's just a game but it's more to you
You say you'll get it next time
You dream of your name on the back of your favorite teams jersey
You try to practice hard
You hope you win the game
You are confident and talented.

Twisted is about a boy named Tyler who is a dorky teenager who wants to make himself known. So in order to do that he does the "Foul Deed." He spray paints the outside of the school with graffiti and gets caught. He has to do some community work to make up for his crime instead of going to jail. He goes to work for the janitors at his high school and by the end of the summer instead of the dorky looking teenager he was he is now a bulked up dork for his senior year. Then he goes to a party while still on probation and it all goes down hill from there. After the party he later finds out that he is being charged for taking dirty pictures of the girl who invited him to the party, Bethany.
