Take Me Back

...to those days where passion, promise, and possibility cornerstoned a life filled with the opportunity for opportunity...not a life full of molds and hammers pounding me endlessly, trying to form me to those molds...to get me to be just another carbon copy of the best before me...let me breathe! let me think! let my thoughts and actions dictate my success! I am me...I am true....I am. Let me use my mind to create new ideas, not only to house those of others before me. Let me build upon this house...make it a mansion...then a castle...then a city....then a nation...of my own design; of my own...paradise. Let me...no....don't let me....I'll let me.
