朋友-夏天

你是最美的，无论他们怎么诋毁

语言奈何不了你丝毫

你在每时每地都呈现着美

是的，语言改变不了你丝毫

You are beautiful no matter what they say 

Words can’t bring you down 

You are beautiful in every single way 

Yes, words can’t bring you down

善良的人

真的有小孩跑来问我，为什么和那个怪物经常在一起玩。这些孩子不熟悉August，否则他们不会这样叫他的。

我总是回答说他是个很好的孩子，也不让他们那样叫他。他们说我是圣人，他们做不到这样。


第一次我坐到他旁边，是因为我很为他很奇怪的样子感到抱歉。没有一个人和他说话。每个人却都在瞪着他，窃窃私语。有人叫他僵尸小孩，他也知道被别人这么叫着。即使是正常人也受不了这样，何况他还很不正常呢？
 

所以我就和他坐在一起。没什么大不了的。他只是个小孩。即使是我见过最奇怪的一个，但他还是个孩子。
