Why would I be a bad influence?
I would have been mad
That he thought I was dumb
Enough to be easily led in the first place.
I told you that were NOT
Missing out on anything
Like parties or drinking.
That you would
Make new friends
Because you were
Effortlessly funny and out going.
You were talented
And I said that you
Exactly what they were
Looking for. And look
How far we had come
Especially you, and
You just ate what you
Wanted when you wanted.
I wasn't being critical.
You obviously ate
To match your energy out-put.
But I was saying how much better
You could be if you changed
The finer details like diet
And a bit of endurance running.
I said that eyelashes
Was also miles better than me
And when we sparred.
You were a pair
Of power houses.
Our coach said that
The word on the street
Was that all three of us
Could still have been something
Even if sport didn't work out.
We had our heads
Screwed on right.
