YO SON

lighten up, nigga. life's too short to be all mad and shit.

but it's kinda too short to be messing around all the time, too. i don't get what it is with me and being how i am; lazy, unmotivated, lack of passion.

HIEU, WAKE UP.

where's that ever smiling child with hopes and dreams so big, anne frank would feel inadequate? you know, that kid with that glean in his eyes and a face that looks to have the sun forever shining upon it? you know what happened to him? he was here not too long ago.

HIEU, GET UP.

the kid with the aspirations. you know, those aspirations of changing the world and having his face on a box of wheaties or some corny shit like that. i'm telling you, that kid was as free as the birds..

HIEU, COME ON, MOVE.

..or was he? kinda did seem like the weight of the world would rests on your shoulders when you want to change it. but maybe the kid realized some things. maybe he realized that just saying these things won't bring them about. maybe he realized that the world is a truly cruel, cruel place, and that brought him under.

HIEU, HURRY THE FUCK UP, WE HAVE TO GO.

but maybe the kid was just waiting. waiting for what? waiting for the most opportune time to pounce, because even if the world is cruel and unfair, he has the innate advantage of peering through it and still smile in the face of adversity, and hell or high water bearing nazis can't bring him down.

HIEU, PLEASE, FOR YOUR SAKE.

but the kid is still hiding, apparently, doesn't think its time to come out yet. a shame really, people might be able to learn a thing or two from him. but what's causing him to hide? what's keeping him from showing his brilliance?

HIEU..
