First off, ouch! Why can’t people just be nice to me. I’m here everyday and no one ever shows me any kind of respect. These people were fighting and now they are silent. I’m not entirely sure what that means but based on my knowledge I can see it won’t work out. Well maybe I’d think differently if he wasn’t chipping away at me. Every day more and more of me disappears, until I’ll be no more. But I refuse to be forgotten. They will remember me. I’m not sure how yet but I’ll figure it out soon. - the bench
