Truth Driven Shows


Truth, it’s on the tip of your tongue, at the edge of your lips, words not forgotten, yet left out unfit.

So many know this but how can they share when tormenting fears just keep ‘em right there.

Passions, a flame, lights within our soul, but still we believe that we have no control.

The world is a liar, it’s filled with so much hate, choking our truth, until we think it’s too late.

When people are dying, no one to care, people without families for love to be there.

Where is the truth that speaks stronger than lies, in the dark of our tunnels, a way out of our disguise?

It’s only right there at the back of our mouth, words filled with purpose, a heart without doubt.

I look for a platform for truth there to leak, a homeland for wisdom, where the broken can speak.

A theatre, a stage, a voice for these truths, I want to direct, to put this passion to use.

Too many stories, untold and unshared, that could change a whole world, if only we dared.

I’ve known what it is to have family and love, butterfly kisses, and a mommy to hug.

How can I keep this inside all my life, a privilege, a blessing, that’s helped me through this life.

I know how to share it, to give love, to give hope to everyone involved with my truth driven shows.

For it’s truth that brings freedom from fear and from doubt, shining light on our pain from within to without

I’m dreaming of something that’s bigger than what I see, I’m running on faith, on hope and belief.

To give love, to give truth yes this is my plan; to change the whole world with this job with this stand.
