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. Reid J. Lewis 06/23/2015
