I’m sure we’ve met before, because you look oddly familiar. You have this way of talking, walking. And that laugh! Oh the laugh got me. I heard myself repeating it just the other day. I tried to cover it up, deny it, suppress it. But why? You’re a nice person, if you try. You’re just a ****** up kid “looking for peace of mind.” Looking in big white bottles, so big You can’t see the bottom they’re so deep. Just shake them up, get out a few, pop them in, and voila! Peace of mind! Well, at least you can get through today… But what about tomorrow? When we meet? Will you even recognize me? Will I remember you? Or that laugh? Or those drawings? They’re oddly familiar, that and then the solemn look. I don’t know who he is, that pale young man. But I guess we all meet in the end sometime. Those sooner than others. And now it appears death has come in the shape of you, but I will keep you alive, kid. I enjoy your smiles and laughs. I will help you climb out of those bottomless pits they give you, And back up for air, for life.
