I've grown bored with how I walk;
it's time to change my stride,
quit lunging forth like a truck
charging through a world engulfed in fire.
It's time to pull my shoulders back
and slow into a prowl, stroll this world
with hip-shot grace and barely touch the ground.

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!"
