No they are NOT drugs. They are herbal suppliments that help your endorphins energize you and stuff. I got 'em from Tiffy. Still stressed out beyond belife. But thank god I'm edging into that "passed stressed" mode where you really don't give a shit. Got a date for prom. *technically two dates* We got a threesome going on WHOO HOO!!! Is it sad that I can only freak dance with girls? Anyway...we've got the Walk for Hope coming up this weekend and I'm pissed that I can't go. *Fucking SAT* I'm just soooooo busy. But the Walk for Hope made me remember this really awesome guy that I used to visit with my mom when she did home visits to her AIDS patients. His name was Jeffery and he was gay and had AIDS. I remember him as an amazingly cheerfull and nice guy even though he was dying. We would sit on the couch together and eat Pez. It was really sad 'cause he was so happy that my mom would allow me to be around him. Back when AIDS was pretty new everybody thought it was really contagious and people said my mom was crazy for letting me be around him. But he was awesome and I still have the sculpture of the little ballerina he gave me *I would always show up to his house in my ballet clothes* So I wrote these lyrics for Jeffery and for this woman I met called Mambo. *it's more of a poem right now but I wanna write something on my viola for it*
You always wondered why I wasn’t afraid
How could I be? I was too young.
You must have had a difficult time to be so jaded
I would have never guessed
It was always a kind word, a short but lovely conversation
Then I skipped back to my world, transition without hesitation.
It took a long time to find what you taught me
But I got there in the end and now I understand.
It took my own road, my own meandering affirmation
And I’m not all there yet, but you know I can
So thank you for the patience
Thank you for the perspective
Thanks for the flying lessons
And the graceful falls.
You were always the best at falling
Your broken limbs you’d take in stride
I never liked inertia
Was it hard to watch a family?
Was it hard to keep a smile?
I know you borrowed it off our laughter
That’s ok, it never cost me anything
And you don’t have to pay me for the favor
But I’ll take a promise of sincerity
You show me that bit of weakness
And I’ll show you how strong it can be
So thank you for the patience
Thank you for the perspective
Thanks for the flying lessons
And the graceful falls
You were always the best at falling
Your broken limbs you’d take in stride
I never liked inertia
