(age 14) I am a huge heavy metal fan; I have ADD; I wonder at what age I will die; I hear someone screaming in agonizing pain; I see oceans of fire; I want to be left alone; I am a huge heavy metal fan; I have A.D.D. I pretend to play the guitar; I feel left out; I touch the fire that burns between relationships; I worry if I'll ever be anything at all; I cry when I think about my brother who passed away; I am a huge heavy metal fan; I have ADD I understand why you should not drink and drive; I say be drug free; I dream about making changes in my life; I try my hardest in life; I hope I get good grades in school; I am a huge heavy metal fan; I have A.D.D. |
