"Explanation," written January 4, 2001  

Is it true?
It can't be
But it explains a lot.
Why you have been acting so weird
not calling
visiting only occasionally
avoiding everyone
Why you quit wrestling
	you're number eight in state
When there's no reason
	i just don't understand why
Why you've been going to the doctor's
And missing so much school
Why you won't talk about
Wrestling with me
	oh no-no- can't be
This makes so much sense
But I'd rather have a different explanation
	no deathly diseases please
Low blood sugar perhaps
Depression maybe
Oh please- don't say it
Cancer isn't the word I'm looking for
Please don't let it be true
I'd rather you be over me
For us to not exist
Than have that true
It's not true
It can't be
But it would explain a lot
