The Dress

You roll your eyes with petty judgment

the dress that is your usual disguise,

Fallen from grace…

what excludes you from running that race?

 

Flakes of broken skin crumble

and fall from his blood riddled hands,

would even you expect you to understand?

 

You raise your hands in hallelujahs

so triumphantly in the air,

His eyes drain the last of His tears,

this is so much more than just despair

 

The wooden splinters break through the skin of His back

it is this privilege for Him to make up for what you lack

 

Blood aching from pores

thickly oozing to the dirty floors,

while you stress over the ridiculous

price you paid for that dress

 

At His side the blade of a knife is

tauntingly caressed,

while the fingers of your lover slide

seductively under that dress

 

Sundays sun had risen, clasp your knuckles

tight in prayers,

hope you said your hallelujahs,

in the dress that took your innocence.

in that dress you wear so well

 

So for the mere taste you give

of your affection

your shame behind Him fell

at the cost of His destruction.

On Friday, something tragic happened at Crescenta Valley High School. A 15 year old boy jumped off the roof of one of our buildings and killed himself during the lunch period in front of dozens of students. Teachers and administrators soon handled the situation by evacuating everyone to the front of the school, then down to our football field. Down there, we stayed for a couple hours. 3000 students in one, we were bound to talk. Details emerged and suspected names were tossed around. It wasn’t until later that night when we learned that the person was Sophomore Drew Ferraro. We had a three day weekend to calm ourselves and let the events sink in. Today we returned to school, expecting a very somber and solemn mood. What we came to was surprising. On each and every one of the 2000+ lockers in our school was a hand-written, heart-shaped note that read “You are loved”. Not only that, but in our homerooms each and every student received a hand written card by different members of the community. Everyone from 8-year old children to parents who have watched their 6 children graduate from our school. There’s a quote that says, “The difference between greatness and mediocrity is a series of small efforts.” The members of the community banded together to make a few small efforts to brighten our day. This is definitely a memory that will stay. To see how well we can band together shows just how strong we really can be. Rest in peace, Drew Ferraro. We all love you. 

why is this so perfect.

I am proud to say this is the high school I went to and so honored to have been a part of making the hearts that were posted on every locker. Drew, you were loved and we will continue the fight against bullying in memory of your short life. Love one another.
