    It starts with me

    I want to be that guy that you can be free to speak your mind to, you can lean on all the time.

    I want to be the mirror that helps you see yourself clearer, that encourages your true self to get a little nearer,

    come and plays devils advocate for the angels make you look at things from different angles ,

    Or I help the world value the person more than the work, Maybe I can help change minds to put people into trees instead of the dirt,

    help be the change to say it’s OK to hurt

    let me help you, because for so long we’ve been told it’s not ok to feel.

    But that’s not real! Because every single person who will read this is struggling with something they may not admit,

    or the pain and trauma they’ve suffered have caused them to forget

    a healthy way to cope looking at life through the cross hairs of a rifle scope,
    I want to help pull your finger away from the trigger and make it look towards hope,

    Maybe I can help change the thought of 40 hours of work,
    Instead, give those people 40 hours of freedom from all these imposed rules of life and society.

    Imagine what this world would be like if we all were able to pursue what makes us happy,

    I really mean it think about it. I don’t mean to get sappy

    it’s just everyone that you meet seems to be drained at least a little bit of joy,
    how do I find a way to intersect with my inner boy?

    The world is so hell bent on getting another dollar or getting another follow,
    but we lack soul and substance our bodies are merely hollow,

    I want to help fill people with things that leave them fulfilled
    where all we worry about is things that leave us with thrill instead of worried about bills.
    The best way to do that is to embody that thought and let it it flow out.

    I challenge you to do something you love today, let loose and show out !
