Today I met a girl. Never did learn her name, but I can remember her face. Her tears sliding down as she asked me and another coach for help. "Please help me, she's trying to beat me up" the girl said in a frantic voice. The other coach suggested she come with us, but her friend yelling from a distance "PUNCH HER BACK!"; I stood wondering what I should say. The girl sits there frozen between two worlds, one of common sense and peace, and one of chaos and fame. I told her as I walked away you should just let it go. She looked at me with her eyes red from either being hit in the face or from just the sure pain and embarrassment of her situation. I told her if you fight what do you get? Both look at me thinking long and hard with no response. I say just be you, eventually everyone gets hit. Who cares what everyone else thinks; just be yourself. But as I walked away I couldn't get her out of my mind. Her face still resonates in the back of my mind. God I feel like I'm never doing enough. Forgive me if I lost another one of your children to the world. I should have done more....
