The nice girl who sat in front of me in the 5th grade . .
When I was in the 5th grade there was a girl who sat in front of me . She was the prettiest thing you could have laid your eyes upon . Chocolate brown in complexion with a face so pretty it could melt your heart . She also was very very smart and her words were soft - spoken . The whole classroom of boys had a crush on her and in our interactions she seemed to be quite fond of me. Our liking for each other was mutual for I carried myself as a young boy should, I was respectful to her as well as gentle in our frequents talks . The fact that she sat right in front of me was a perk I looked forward to everyday . Fast forward to adulthood . . . .
I have seen this girl who now is a woman several times throughout the years in our passing . Sadly to say the streets have been very hard to her and on her. I suspect some vile evil man noticed her innocence in the early 80's and introduced her to the drug culture . She has been used and abused in a manner that even a dog should not have to suffer . I would estimate she has been drug addicted for the last 30 years or more , her life sadly in an emotionally void kind of way slipping through her rough hands which were once upon a time soft.
Every-time I see this lady - my friend in passing I will offer her a big hug and whisper in her ear "You are still the beautiful girl I had a crush on in the 5th grade" . . She will smile and say "Steven you have always been my friend"...I generally throw her a few bucks not to be judge-mental of her affliction but 2 just if only temporarily offer her a reprieve from the silent plight she faces daily . I sincerely wish the inhabitants of this world were not so cruel to each other , I deeply pray that men stop turning women out on dope to fulfill their own carnal selfish evil needs. I pray that my friend will look into the mirror and re-capture all of the innocence she has lost to the streets as a result of her soul-affiliations . For somehow , someway I know that the nice girl who sat in front of me in the 5th grade is still there in her essence .. jah bless..@STeve Cosmic.
