This isn\u2019t about freedom
\nThis isn\u2019t about me\u2026..or you
\nit\u2019s just a rant, plain and simple
\nlike taking a rusty can opener to the brain, and seeing what\u2019s inside<\/p>\n

Conversation With A Stranger<\/p>\n

We live strange and dangerous lives don\u2019t we?
\nconstantly shifting from one distraction to the next
\nSo what\u2019s your drug today?
\nSex, guns, media\u2026.what?
\nI don\u2019t know man
\nAre you locked inside your head again?
\nMaybe a little\u2026..but sometimes that\u2019s good
\nWhat are you searching for? Do you even know?
\nYou want to be wanted don\u2019t you?
\nI want it all
\nThoughts, feelings, actions or lack thereof
\nWhy are you here? Whatta you wanna to do?
\nDo you want to be good\u2026.evil, or a little of both?
\nYou wanna be strong right?
\nI want to be everything
\nThere ain\u2019t enough coffee and cigarettes in the world to get me through this one man
\nOhh the situations that you get yourself into\u2026.
\nI swear sometimes it\u2019s like you want a fight\u2026..
\nbetter be prepared to deal with the consequences\u2026\u2026just saying
\nI\u2019ve changed man, things are different now
\nI know you have, and it ain\u2019t over yet, we\u2019re always changing
\nYeah then we\u2019re dead
\nThere\u2019s never enough time in the day is there?
\nchoices, choices, choices
\nwhat to do, choose wisely my friend
\nThat\u2019s easier said than done
\nSo much unfinished business, what\u2019s up with that?
\nwhere\u2019s your focus man?
\nohh yeah, that\u2019s right\u2026..life is getting in the way, right?
\nsure\u2026\u2026.
\nSo you say people disappoint you huh?
\nJust tell them to fuck off and be done with it
\nOr you could put on that happy face, but not for too long
\nembrace that anger, but don\u2019t let it eat you from the inside out
\nuse it, or lose it!
\nSo you wanna be free huh?
\nhow\u2019s that working out for ya? Are you living it, or just talking about it?
\nagain\u2026.where\u2019s your focus man?
\nwhat happened to that nagging thought?
\ndo you remember what\u2019s really important?
\nSometimes I forget\u2026..
\nIt\u2019s family, friends, community, and freedom\u2026right? Is it still?
\nI think so
\nI hope so\u2026\u2026
\nRemember the smiles man
\nYeah I love to see them smile\u2026..happiness is good
\nIt brings peace\u2026.trust that
\nI wonder do you still hear the calling?
\nthat tiny voice in your head reminding you of what could be
\nSometimes, but it gets drowned out with other noise
\nNoise\u2026.where\u2019s your filter? Quit your whining, and just do it!
\nDo you remember when you were a kid, and anything was possible?
\nI got news for you\u2026..it still is, but only if you want it bad enough.
\ndo you?
\nYes\u2026\u2026\u2026
\nNever forget\u2026your focus determines your reality
\nI know man\u2026.I know
\nRemember the mistakes, plan for the future, but focus on the present
\nLife is short\u2026.never forget that
\nLife is good\u2026\u2026thanks<\/p>\n
