Which is why I wanted to you to
search your mind not grab low hanging fruit

it your role model outside the home
How many role models do you think

headDEADlook
Which is why I asked you

Who’s yours?
Ive thought long an hard more than I
care to admit Lotsa candidates no one head an shoulders above the rest
But maybe not role models
Maybe heroes artists mold breakers freethinkers
freetinkers men women courageous unafraid willing to diecommit to
every fuckin hill they climbed
Whod want someone at their back who woudnt stand pat
