"Johnny"

Ponyboy, I asked the nurse to give you this book so you could finish it. The doctor came in a while ago but I already knew it anyway. I keep getting tireder and tireder. Listen, I don't mind dying now. It was worth it. It was worth saving those kids. Their life's are worth more than mine, they have more to live for. Some of the parents came by to thank me and I know it was worth it. Tell Dally it was worth it. I'm just gonna miss you guys. I've been thinking about it, and that poem, that guy that wrote it, he meant you are gold when your a little kid, like green. When you're a kid everything is new, dawn. It just. When you get used to everything it's day. Like the way you dig sunsets, pony. That's Gold. Keep it that way , it's a good way to be. I want you to tell Dally to look at one. He'll probably think your crazy, but ask for me. I don't think he's ever really seen a sunset. And don't be bugged over being a greaser. You still have a lot of time to make yourself be what you want. There is still a lot of good in the world. Tell Dally. I don't think he knows. Your Budy, Johnny"

Mother, I really hate the way

You treat me like no other

And I refuse to be your victim

I count the days and nights,

they are all numbered

She takes her time

And

Hurts me like no other

Keep it all inside, never see

Me cry.

Hoping I find a way out from

The mother

Please God, don't let her

Destroy my life!

This song connects to this scene because it talks about being hurt from his mother and Johnny would get hurt by his mother too.
