Push
Career oriented
Push me into typicality
Told myths of the straight and narrow path
Lined on either side by treacherous cliff side
Jagged with lost hope and drug addiction,
Probably.
Hungry for unstructured exploration of
Everything. Int- and Ext-
Push away from the
Must's and
Have to's
Professional Humanitarian-
Closest I've come to considering a career
Professional Humanitarian-
"Probably wouldn't pay much"
Oddly enough, the ATM of my heart and mind rejects physical currency.
Maybe I'll try Bitcoin.
Give me a pencil and shelter
Content.
Let me write to restore sight to the blind and blinded.
Surround me with souls, tormented, caged.
And let these hands, these vocal cords
Change circumstance
Change outlook
Glean insight,
Gain self awareness
Through our collective condition.
