Fanclub 01:40
I was always one to live on wishes that never did come true. Waiting for a single chance that never followed through. Hoping for at least one day where I can say that it's okay. But right now, I can because I'm sitting here with you. A million droplets on the window ; the rain is pouring down. Sharing in experience, absorbing sights and sounds. Watching people walk on by, busy with their daily lives. Please, let us not take ourselves too seriously for now. How about after class we grab a cup of tea? Because when I'm sitting next to you, I'm as joyful as can be. And any weight that bears upon my chest, I can forget of any problem standing in my way. Though what matters is the 'here and now' I still look back and wonder how I ever got to where I am with you and what I feel is nothing short of truth. Chin up, I'll catch you later, kid.

Winter Break 02:57
Blurry eyes blink open. Face down on the floor. A deep breath ; the air fills my chest. I step outside of the door. I brush my teeth and my reflection and I stop to pause and see if we can recall. I sit down and close my eyes for a while and think of everything or nothing at all. A scene from a movie plays inside my head and I wait until I see it again. A thought floats around from behind my eyes and I catch it with a ballpoint pen. Flapjacks for breakfast. "Can you please pass me the jar?" Chapter 5 of '1984' and then I guess I'll play some guitar. I call you up to say 'hello' and 'I love you' and 'today we'll have a wonderful life.' Mom's upstairs and Dad is watching the news. I step out the door and tell them 'goodbye.' A scene from a movie plays inside my head and I wait until I see it again. A thought floats around from behind my eyes and I catch it with a ballpoint pen. I wonder if or when this chapter will ever end and if I'll say 'goodbye' to everyone I call my friend... I chill at Veteran's Park. I get home by 12 or 2 or 3. When are you coming home, so I can kiss you on your red rosy cheek? I brush my teeth and my reflection and I stop to pause and see if we can recall. I sit down and close my eyes for a while and think of everything or nothing at all...

Remembering my youth, I never wanted to fit in with that group. I turned away and ran. And in the past, it couldn't last. Time just brought me closer to the truth and closer to my plan... That I'm here for being something more than a part to a machine. I have a mind, a beating heart. I am a human being. Take a look at your reflection. Tell me what you see. A life is not worth living if it isn't truly free. And so I'm here today. How can I even think of throwing this honest life away? I know it's wrong. It's the only think that keeps me human, separating me from them. The only thing I've known for all too long.. That I'm here for being something more than a part to a machine. I have a mind, a beating heart. I am a human being. Take a look at your reflection. Tell me what you see. A life is not worth living if it isn't truly free. So I extend this invitation, expecting nothing back in hopes that I will get your tough exterior to crack. And I know, my friend, it hurts to risk. It cuts deep like a knife. but that's the way I want to live my life.
