Though the tides still turned
my heart and soul burned
when I thought that "We:"
*will most likely never be...

"I can't," were the words she chose,
and I immediately crumbled inside.
Not only is she doubting herself
but she's making "can't" her reality.
The only thing that will stop her
from living this lifestyle is herself.
Once she gives up, the battle is done,
with ******* being crowned as winner.

My guts and the stars' guts consists of the same stuff
which means, not only am I in the universe
but the universe is in me.

Homie,

You have so much to learn and so much longer to go,
and I know that you feel like you should have arrived
by now, but everybody else doe too. Don't be too hard
on yourself man, you are doing the best you can. Also,
you're doing it honestly, and that is so important.  The
one advice I can give you is to trust yourself more,
and believe in yourself. Remember when Mom lost her
vision what she said to you: "We can do this Jimmy."
If she can keep the fight up being blind, you can do
definitely do it. Don't stray away from me, I'm here
for you and I will always be, I'll be waiting at the
finish line....

Love you kid!

So everyday I walk by this lever
I know what it does if I pull it
It changes everything
My whole lifestyle will change
I will become the person I want

So everyday when I see this lever
I imagine the process of change
Both good and bad change
I will become a great wise man
Yet I will leave some behind

Today I sat by the lever and cried
Knowing it would be my last day
The changes start now
Happy for the things to come
Sad for the people I'll be leaving behind
I first discovered the lever on October 16, 2011.
For the past fifty weeks I've sat by it delaying the inevitable pulling.
Today I became a man.

I'll keep praying for you,
even though you don't want me to.
Just because its in your nature to quit,
doesn't mean its in mine.

You say, "we're only put here to die."
There is nothing I can say back
because deep down this thought
always occurs in my mind...

You have to want it,
Want to breathe, want to be healthy,
Want to be happy,
Want to be loved.
