The Good Die Young

(Free Deeks)

This is the celebration of the life of a great friend of mine who was part Cherokee, 6 feet 7 tall and had only one eye. He was unfortunately killed in an accident.

In this land of blind contempt, the one eyed man is king But should we stand in line and queue for everything? Son of a Cherokee, his face tipped to the stars Soft as plasticine, hard as algebra In this land of broken dreams the optimist stands clear Says we could save ourselves by drinking all our tears A thirst for knowledge, a need for third degree To climb the mountain higher than he’s meant to be Sealed his fate that crucial day It didn’t have to be Whoever said the good die young Knew life’s dark comedy In this land of blind contempt, the one eyed man is king But should we stand in line and queue for everything? Son of a Cherokee, his face tipped to the stars Soft as plasticine, hard as algebra History changed that fateful day It didn’t have to be Whoever said the good die young Knew of this tragedy

Crowd

By Clairine T.


A relationship between two people with vastly different personalities and perspectives doesn't always work out well. When people are too different, there could never be a middle ground, and a huge rift is created that could not be crossed by themselves or anyone else for that matter. You could say that that kind of relationship is toxic, impossible to fix, that they should go their separate ways before things get worse between them. But when those two people are each other's closest companion, the fear of having no one else by their side often overrides how huge that rift is. Nothing could come out of it, but they only have each other. Though they aren't close and don't understand one another like how friends, or family, should, they are still marginally better than strangers, and sometimes that alone is enough to make them stay in that permanent stalemate.
