Strange
STRANGE
As a child I dreamed of changing the world, make a difference
in society and people’s lives
My intelligence was calculated as in the top ten percent of the
American people and surprised even me.
Reality stepped in and the land of the free and the home of the
brave was a figment of my imagination and not alive
Then I got sidetracked by drugs for 32 years, I found out that this
was the only way I could be free
If only in my own mind.
Now sidetracked back into sobriety, very much surprised that I
am here and very much alive
I am still not a babbling idiot, yet insanity may be a part of the
reason I am around today.
I still want to make the world a better place, help the American
reach all, not just the top five.
I do know that a loving and caring GOD kept me alive for a reason
and that HE/SHE will show me the way
To follow HIS plan for me.
