Between the Lines of Me

Jamie Park is fluent in silence. They write poems on scraps of paper and post them anonymously online, never expecting anyone to notice. For Jamie, words are safer when they're hidden — a secret language for all the parts of themselves they don't yet understand. Then comes Eli Carter — confident, poetic, and completely unafraid to take up space. When Eli discovers Jamie's writing, they reach out with curiosity that feels like recognition. Soon, the two are trading verses, messages, and late-night conversations that blur the line between friendship and something more. But when Jamie joins the school poetry club, their private words begin to take on a life of their own. The closer they grow to Eli, the more they start questioning everything — their name, their voice, and the way they've been seen their whole life. When one of Jamie's poems accidentally goes public, it exposes more than just their feelings — it reveals their truth. With the world suddenly watching, Jamie must decide: hide behind the lines or finally step into them. Between the Lines of Me is a story about language, love, and the spaces between silence and speech. Told in poetic, emotional prose, it celebrates the power of art to define — and sometimes, to save — who we are.
