Clever Darkness

I sat in my bishops' office, still a tender seventeen years old. Sent to sit and confess my sins from the Summer of 1997. I'd spent the Summer being a lusty lad, having plenty of passionate, hormonal sex with my lovely Miss Rita Rosalie. I cried as I laid my sins out there for a man that may or may not have cared. It was his job to take it to God for me. It was my job to confess to him. And in theory, if I never sinned like that again, I'd be forgiven.

His words rocked my brains for days after, plunging my fragile psyche into a tailspin of depression that took months to overcome.

"Do not believe for a moment that light and darkness are not fighting for your soul. Both can pull at you with mighty force. It is a battle to the very end and there will only be one clear winner. Darkness is clever, but light, light makes the knees of darkness tremble. There is still light in you, I can see it shining brightly. When you sin as you have done, the clever darkness can dim that bright, shining light..."

Girl Who Deserves A Chance

 Ryan, You asked me once, "Why do people love me?" I'll tell you why... Your energy is what makes people fall in love with you. It's how you make them feel. It is not your body, your money or your looks that make you magnetic. What makes you unforgettable is how you transform the hearts of people around you with your simple presence. That is your energy, that is your power, and that is why people love you. Jessica,     the girl who deserves a chance...

Backstage Stooge

 Dear Ryan,  You're delightful and a real treat to be around, a regular jack who's so down to earth. What you see is what you get with you. No pretenses, no false fronts, no ulterior motives or ill intentions. You're one to say what you're thinking with your eyes, you can never hide behind lies, and your sighs give you away. Although you're an exceptional actor, you shed those roles only to recreate yourself whenever you feel you need to. I suspect you've got some secrets and perhaps you very well could be a demon in disguise. But I seriously doubt the dark side of you isn't just as beautiful as the light side. You're no one's fool and you're fooling no one. You've simply got to walk in any room and your energy speaks for itself. You're one of a kind, and don't tell anyone, but I think my heart might become rather fond of you. Your co-star and backstage stooge, Jonah D.
