Stand.

"Here's Where I Stand" - Tiffany Taylor (From the motion picture CAMP)

Here in the dark
I stand before you
Knowing this is my chance to show you my heart
This is the start
This is the start

I have so much to say and I'm hopin'
That your arms are open
Don't turn away, I want you near me
But you have to hear me

Here's where I stand
Here's who I am
Love me, but don't tell me who I have to be
Here's who I am, I'm what you see

You said I had to change and I was tryin'
But my heart was lyin'
I'm not a child any longer
I am stronger

Here's where I stand
Here's who I am
Help me to move on but please don't tell me how
I'm on my way, I'm movin' now

In this life we've come so far
But we're only who we are
With the courage of love
To show us the way
We've got the power to stand up and say

Here's where I stand
Here's where I am
Stand up and be counted, I'm counting on you
If you're with me
We'll make it through

Here's where I stand
Here's who I am
Love me, love me, love me and we'll make it through
Here's where I stand
Baby, baby, baby I'm counting on you

Here's where I stand
Love me, love me, love me and we'll make it through
I'm counting
I'm counting
I'm counting, I'm counting on you

Goodbye.

To my beloved CG's,

You're such gems. You absolutely brighten my day with your hilarity. I don't know where Id be without you.

But, really, it's time to stop lying and giving you the honest truth.

You're all fucking monsters.

Not only have you completely mastered the concept of mob psychology, you've turned the people around you against you. Do you realize a LOT of people don't like you? Ms. Cox is right when she says the choir kids are terrible children. I may not have a lot of actual friends, but a hell of a lot more people like me than you guys (especially the upperclassmen lot). I may have been a part of you at one time, but I'm glad I got out. Seeing other people hurt and walked over does a number on my conscience. You kids are heartless, ruthless, egotistical, arrogant, and cutthroat. All in all, you're just a group of bitches that people don't exactly like, but have to put up with. A lot of people in JCHC want to quit because your poor attitudes have sucked all the fun out of music, which is terrible, because that prevents the program from advancing to its full potential. Feeding the director lies and covering up your own less-than-exemplary lives in order to strip others of things they genuinely deserve shows poor character and leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

If I ever hear of someone associated with JCHC offing themselves, my intuition is going to blame each and every one of you immediately.

One of these days, karma is going to slap each and every one of you in the face, and I sincerely hope I hear of it. I'll laugh for ages. Why? Because I'm always right. I want to be around to say, "I told you so," but you're not even worth my words.

Sincerely,

Michaela Lenzie
