I have seen so much pain, so much hurt
Sometimes I wish I could just make everything better
I wish I could make the pain of everyone go away
Deaths can happen from suicide, cancer, aids, shootings and a whole lot of other stuff
Yesterday my friends brother killed him self
He over dosed on speed
She came into class crying
I thought maybe her boyfriend broke up with her
But then she told me she didn’t want to talk about it
But I made her
Then she told me about it
I cried with her
My friend died a couple years ago
He got shot
He was in a gang
And all he wanted was to be respected
As I stood by his bed
I told him that I respected him a lot
And if he left me I would make sure every one would be respected
That was when I realized that he wasn’t there anymore
I cried
I still cry
My friend has aids
She got it from prostituting
She told me that I couldn’t get it
But I still was careful around her
I didn’t want her to get sick
She would get a cold and she wouldn’t be able to go to school
I watched her on her deathbed
Her blond hair was falling out every time I brushed it for her
Her pale face looked like a ghost
I painted her toenails and fingernails
And when she was about to pass I sang her favorite song
It was amazing grace
I looked into her blue eyes while I sang
She looked at me with so much pride
When I finished she told me
I had to care for everyone the way I cared for her
I promised her I would
And now holding all my memories of all my friends that have died
Or that has been made fun of or beat up I show them respect
People with a disease I well look in there eyes and remember all my friends
And I hope you well show everyone respect and not make fun of him or her and to care for everyone
I really liked the way that pain and feeling can rise to a new level......It does change us all......
