I Got Ahold Of My Friend Josh From Last Year On The Phone.
He's Not Doing So Well.
I Heard Basically, That His Friend Who Was Labled 'Goth' Died A Few Days Ago,
And That A Group Of Kids Are Talking About Her, Saying She Probably Died Of Overdose.

They're Basically Talking Bad About Her, Now That She's Gone And Can't Defend Herself. Josh Said That He's Going To Put On A Pair Of Black Gloves She Gave Him, Put On A Hockey Mask, And Fist-Fight Them On Friday The 13th.
I Warned Him That If They Go To The Police, They Can Track Him Down.

He's Still Josh;
He Says He Doesn't Care About The Penalties, And That They Shouldn't Have Talked About Her In The First Place.

He Also Told Me That He Was Caught Smoking By His Grandparents, So Now He Has Some Strict Curfew, And That His Teachers Don't Like Him. He Said He's Gotten Detention A Lot, But He's Skipped It, So Now They're Announcing It Over The Loudspeaker.

He Said That He's Like Me, And Only Knows A Few People.
He Says Only One Other Person There Knows About Any Of The Music He Likes.
He's A Huge Fan Of The Insane Clown Posse, So I Told Him About Mindless Self Indulgence And Put One Of Their Songs On Over The Phone; He Says Their Great.

He Said He's Going To Get A Tattoo, Of A Few Of His Old Friend's Names On His Shoulder. And That It'll Be Awesome, But Knowing That He's My Age, It's Probably Just A Piece Of Glass, And A Broken Pen.

I'm Worried About Him.
I Don't Want Anything Bad Happening To Him,
But He Says He's Been Feeling 'Shut Down', And
That Things Arn't Going Well.

I Can't Do Much,
Now That He's Moved,
But I'm Going To Pray For Him.

I Know That He's Human,
And He Might Just Be Really Angry, And Saying Things
That He Doesn't Mean.
But, He's Josh, And I Shouldn't Doubt Him.
