They said Be good They said Behave They said Smile and sit up right They said Make the grades They said Why are you acting this way? They said Who do you think you are? They said Go to college and be someone They said They said They said Breathe I said I am good I said I will behave I said I don't have enough vasoline to keep up the fake smile I said I don't like school I said I want to act out and be noticed I said I know that I'm not enjoying this I said I'm not going anywhere until you listen to me I said I said I said Then they vanished and I said I miss you... And They said Nothing Love, Ladycat *Watching the news is a horrible thing.* "Everything changes, everything stays the same."-Bill Austin |

I said, I wish I could do it all over again. Great write. Reminds me of things I should have done a long time ago. |

Reminds me of my daughter and what she is going through her first year at high school. It's such a huge adjustment. Good job. -Bob |

Eek! So good Ladycat, oh my, beautiful, sad, true, written so well! The ending was....too hot to handle. Hollow. Courtney. I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad. The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had. - Gary Jules, Mad World. |
