that man with cruches

Apr 24, 2005 14:12

my uncle took ME out to eat wile my dad was painting MY room for me and my mom was at the mall buying ME pants/shirts and hair dye. And we were on are way back and i was swinging my head around and smiling as big as i could to the music in the car like nobody was watching me.i thought to my self "i love sundays" and mixed fruit mentos (my got them for ME because i wanted them one day while i was lin on the couch on the phone) then just to see if somebody was watching i looked around and i saw the man ...

this man was walking so slow a snail could pass him, no joke. he had cruches and was carrying grosserie bags and he was wearing flanal and a black beanie with worn down gray sweat pants that used to be black and he was wearing brown yellow sneaker that used to be white that were lased up in perfect bunny ears... as he was walking i looked at his face he lips were moving as if he was trying to wisper to someone but the was nobody there. he was talking to him self. just like i do every single day i would have given anything to just hear what he was saying. i imagend running out the car door to him and helping him over and over i dont really know what i could do i probally could have carried his bags but thats about it. i wonderd about helping him over and over and i didnt have one good reason not to. And i thought to my self WHY ARE YOU IN THIS CAR AND NOT OUT THERE HELPING HIM. and i got upsetwith my self because i was just staring at him. He was just walkin his grosseries home. he had the a beard that uncept but it was short so he must have shaved like a mounth or less ago ... i just starting thinking what was hi life? how did he get there to that point?... if he could be any wear were would it be? does he live with some one?( by the amount of food he bought i doubt it) what was his name?

then the light changed ...

how can you be so spoiled and selfish and not feel guilty? ... yeah i've been helping out around the house lately ... but that doesnt mean i should get prize for each set of dishes i do. just cause i put the milk away i get a bag of skittles. just cause i get ready on time for school my dad gets me breakfast. just cause i do my homework i can stay online and on the phone all night. just cause you buy me a concert ticket i get to buy the most exspensive jacket there ... i never new how bad off i was until i saw that man. i used to never want clothes or ... anything .. i just wanted to play outside or hang out with my friends nad family. i used to NEVER ask for ANYTHING ... cause i new if i did i would get a yes. but now im just like hannah first then everybody else. that used to be my biggest flaw is that i never put myself first. now that i've changed its my biggest flaw that all i do is put my self first.

i hope i never wish im dead ever agin... im gonna make my life matter! and im gonna help every single soul i can but first i have save my self from becoming one of those kids that i hate. im sorry i got this bad ...
