In Memoriam To Steven... Graduate of 2007 RIP

Playing dumb, but you had the brains.
Wrapped in a world of your own misery.
Couldn't escape the illusion until it was too late.
The bad kid in the back of the classroom, who always showed up late.
Never bothered to do homework, but made it through graduation anyway.
Wish people had helped you before the darkness closed in around you.
But things don't ever turn out how we want.
Steven, you will be remembered...
All the times our class has spent:
Prom, the endless party before during and after.
The 8th grade boat trip, where I was a dumbass and pretended I was the Queen of the world on the bow of the ship.
The drama and good times our class has had.
And now we gather at your funeral.
Didn't wish this on you or anyone else.
You should still be with us... died an old, old man.
But you drowned in your addiction, and died today.
RIP, Steven D. July 27, 2008
