Assistant Four Years In Five Lives
LEIGH: I was so uncertain of myself. Trying to find out
who were amongst a multitude of who will I be. The
years they, they have faded. The years have faded by so
fast and look how much I've grown. I'm not the same. We
wrap ourselves in covers, the illusions of what we
strive to be but deep down inside there is something
growing passed the trends. Death led me to a quiet
place. I stared up at the ceiling, realizing the
intensity of who I was and who I could be. The
heaviness of the tears enveloped me. The lonely place
I've been disappeared. (we held on and cried). We
laughed a lot. Told secrets, dyed our hair. ur voices
rose, and our feet danced. We were of academia Monday
through Friday and punk rock on the weekends. I am me,
beautiful me. I can still see their faces. Feel the
sweat. Sing the song. All day long. Hold onto your
dreams. I held a broom in my hand, I swept the
afterthoughts of the day. I earned my education. I
thank you for it. You will live in my heart. TOM: Look
at where I am now. Look at where you are now. Could you
tell me this is for the best. It's obvious. It's funny
how when we say forever we really only mean until
things change. I lost the fight to put the clues
together, some things lose their shine alone with age.
We climb over and over again and we fall over and over
again. Could it be something that I said, that I did?
You tried a million times but you can't break me.
You'll never break me now. You won't stand on your own
two feet again without me. You said there'd be days
like this and days like this will pass. It seemed like
a lifetime then, those years went by so fast. I'll try
to remember you, you came and went so fast.
