what i remember of the song she wrote for me, one
At first it made me happy, all the standing up for me she did, how she
championed me in any company, and then I saw it start to wear on her, how
before she could say anything to certain people, people who were
otherwise her friends, she had to rego through the seemingly endless
debate about whether or not I was using her, holding her down, pulling
the heat from her body in exchange for some poential future interest on
my “talent”. I haven’t had to make these sorts of arguments since I moved
out of my parents house, and had assumed they had ended, but it became
obvious they had just changed venues and participants. I thought it would
help if I could return the favor, make a public statement of support
against the general concensus of doubt, and so, over time, I convinced
her to start performing her songs at parties, at open mics, anywhere she
could lug her guitar.
