Sometimes I think we’re all trying to be shadows of each other, trying to buy the same records and everything even if we don’t like them. Kids are like robots, off an assembly line, and I don’t want to be a robot!

This morning when I left Mom’s parting words were, “Come straight home after school.” Wow! Like I’m going to get stoned at 3:30—it doesn’t sound so bad at that.

Home Mom Morning
She didn’t know whether she was running away from something or running to something, but she admitted that deep in her heart she wanted to go home.

Heart Home Running
They don’t think “I care,” “I hurt,” or “I have feelings.” It just seems like I’m always “wrong,” always “selfish,” always “self-centered” and everything else that’s negative and destructive.

Important Individual Personality Something
Even my parents treat me like I’m stupid and inferior and ever short. I guess I’ll never measure up to anyone’s expectations. I surely don’t measure up to what I’d like to be.

Even Expectation Inferior Measure
I guess I’ll never measure up to anyone’s expectations. I surely don’t measure up to what I’d like to be.

Expectations Like Measure
I’m partly somebody else trying to fit in and say the right things and do the right thing and be in the right place and wear what everybody else is wearing.

Kids Shadow Thinking
I’m not really sure which parts of myself are real and which parts are things I’ve gotten from books.

Book Part Real Really
The voice of every kid hooked on drugs, alcohol or the occult joins the sad chorus “Not me! I didn’t think it could ever happen to me. I was sure I could handle it.

Kids Thinking Voice
I wouldn’t intentionally hurt anyone in this whole world. I wouldn’t hurt them physically or emotionally, how then can people so consistently do it to me?

Hurt People Stupid
I would like to stay stoned all the time, it scares me it’s so good. I would like to stay stoned every minute of every day for the rest of my life.

Good Life Minutes Rest Scare
