I held up the picture my dad had given me of my older brother. I never knew him because he had been kicked out a few years after I was born; but knew I'd find him.
I was just having difficulty starting my search.
"Yo Erick!" my friend Aleasha called; jogging up to me.
I turned to her and grinned.
"Sup Aleasha."
"Still lookin'?" she asked; looking at the picture.
I nodded lightly and sighed.
"It's gonna take forever...! I don't even know what he looks like NOW!"
"I think..." she started; ripping the picture from me. "...he'll look somewhat like that..."
She pointed at the blonde at Starbucks; drinking black coffee. I took a deep breath and walked over to him.
"Ummm...are you Corey Niles...?" I asked softly.
"Who wants to know?" he growled up at me; then froze the instant he saw my face.
"Woah. You remind me of my mom."
"OUR mom..." I corrected.
"Our-what!!??"
He jumped out of his seat and spilt his coffee; staring at me.
"What's your name, kid?"
"Erick Niles..." I whispered. "...son of Michelle and Lawerence Niles..."
His eyes lit up and then darkened.
"Why are you looking for me, Erick?"
"Because Dad begged me to...he died trying to find you...and Mom drank her pain away..." I said hurtfully; and Corey stared at me.
"So you're my little brother."
"Homeless now because they're dead..."
"Well!" he laughed. "Why not live with me??"
And that's how I found Corey. :P
Seem silly to you?

Seem silly to you?
They seem much brighter tonight.
That they do...
It's...cold.
You're dying, that's why...
I can't turn back, can I?
No...you can't...
Why did I do it?
That...you have to ask yourself...
But my heart won't listen anymore.
What do you mean?
I keep hearing lies from my heart.
They are not lies. You just won't accpet the truth.
So...it's all my fault then...?
Is that what your heart says?
I don't know anymore.
Tonight...when you close your eyes...say the name of the person that watches over you...they will enter your room and will stay there.
What will they do for me?
Whatever you need them to.
Then I want him to keep me warm and safe; make sure I don't fade away.
That...my friend...is what he'll do.
Dying is never easy, is it?
No.
Thank you for listening.
Thank you for telling me.
Who are you?
Your heart.
Alright. Besides my grad in two months, there is another event. It is nameless thus far, but it's very important for EVERYONE. I'm in the process of working on it, but those that have me on facebook (Aleasha Erick Folster) can read it on my wall.
The motto is this: We've been denied to everything, but today we do what we were told we cannot.
Does this clarify anything?
Well; my event is for those that couldn't play basketball because 'they were too short'. They couldn't dance with people of their own sex because 'you can't be seen because you're gay'. And every other discrimination towards mankind.
If you like this, and want to be part of my committee, message me.
If you don't, simply show your support.
:) Thank you for reading.

Love hurts,
Love scars,
Love wounds and marks
Any heart not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, it holds a lot of rain
Love hurts,
Ooo-oo love hurts
I'm young,
I know,
But even so
I know a thing or two, I learned from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a flame It burns you when it's hot
Love hurts,
Ooo-oo love hurts
Some fools think
Of happiness, blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves, I guess
They're not foolin' me
I know it isn't true I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
Love hurts,
Ooo-oo love hurts
I know it isn't true
I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
Love hurts,
Ooo-oo love hurts
Ooo-oo, love hurts, Ooo-oo

Happiness. What is that?
An emotion that makes you feel better.
A feeling of pride.
Or more?
Happiness.
I've often wondered if I'd ever feel it.
Express it.
Now I know what happiness is.
Happiness is what I feel when you smile at me.
I express happiness when you're near me.
Kiss me.
Touch me.
You make me happy.
You are my definition of happiness.
Am I your happiness?
~~For My Michelle~~
P.S. I will always love you. I'd die for you. Because I don't want to lose my happiness.
My love.
My life.
You are everything to me. :)
