The Life Of Me- An Outsiders Love Story

one

He looked at me today.
He said hello.
Then he kinda
Looked away.
I guess he'll never know.
His name is strange.
Ponyboy Curtis.
He's real cute.
Too bad he's a greaser.
You see, I'm a soc.
A rich kid.
I
Have
It
Good.
But things are bad everywhere.
My dad comes home.
He can barely see straight.
He's an alcoholic.
My mom is absent.
I'm left to care for
My little brother, Tony.
He's only seven.
I'm only fourteen.
If I could change it
I would.
I'd become a greaser.
I'd hang out with Those boys.
I'd be tough
Instead of susceptible to things
Like the others socs.
They're not very nice.
They're drunks
Just like my dad.
If I could
I'd walk right up to him
And kiss him
And tell him that I love him
But I can't.
