the Clif, we all fall from

So here we are. Another birthday of yours. Gone too soon, to where we all go.

Drugs were used to bind you. Drugs were used to break the chains. You were misunderstood behind a fog of Li... Forced upon you by the darkness you didnt wish to experience.

When we were hanging out, you spoke of your desire to quit Li... one of the hardest prescribed and addicting drugs a person can take. One that hid any scars and blamed only you. But I know what the cause was. I know who. I only wish I could have made a better connection when I was there. In ATX circa 2011. Maybe I could have intervened or atleast attempted.

I have never seen you without a smile, though I knew the torment you felt. I remember it, I experienced it with you, but I did not live there so I could escape. You couldnt. and instead of letting you be you, and recover, they perpetually drugged you. To keep you silent.

I will remember you for this smile. You intro'd me to music. I remember youd be playing guitar and writing lyrics on sticky notes, and you called them Clif Notes(circa like 1999). ha! But this inspired me to pick up music. I saw this as your only chance at freedom and I saw it for myself.

Ha you also introduced me to Warcraft and other strategy games. Ill never forget you.

AllDefiant is for you and those like you. Trapped. By something you can't control.

CA, will be missed, the lake took you and many others. (Though I have my doubts)

RIP.
