"Apathy"
I am standing in the darkness now.
The most comfort in my life comes from this quiet solitude.
I have done all that I can.
What more do they require?
What more can they demand?
I am dreaming in hues of red of late.
There is more peace in this nightmare than
here with these hollow figures.
What have I done to deserve their hatred?
All I have ever done is been nothing less than who I am:
A strong mind,
A strong heart,
A strong will,
A strong voice.
Compassionate, disciplined, witty, solemn, proactive in all that matters to me
most in this life, but most of all,
Devoted, utterly devoted.
I will never understand what happened.
What loss or tragedy is justified by apathy?
And why is apathy justified by loathing?
Is it jealousy?
Why then?
All I ever ask if for some sincere consideration
What more is there to ask?
I know it is not too much.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
