stay gold

I am from abuse

where they hurt me over

and over again

till i'm crying asking

"why why is this happening to me"

I am from friendship

that saved me from the darkness

and gave me hope once again

that they will finally love me

I am from trust

that you guys will always

be there for me

and help in times of need

I am from fear

that they shall harm you

because of what i did

I am from dreams

that are fading as i lay here

DYING

and hearing your voices and with

the rest of my strength i say this

"Stay Gold Ponyboy, Stay Gold"
