We live in a world where mute people talk

In a world where the disable walk

In a world where we have ears but do not listen

And in a world where shadows make our skin glisten

But more importantly we live in a world where it is impossible

To complete the possible without communication

This world is a door and it cannot be opened without the key

They key which we hold and can achieve whatever we are told

Communication is the key that we all have in our pockets

It is difficult to see at first but with a second glance you know it’s in your right eye socket

I’ve been on this same journey for an astounding three years

And like everything, it has to come to an end

Went from cleaning rivers, dumping truck wheels to creating a video called Vent

Became a master at juggling life and all its obstacles

My parents were an amazing ice cream and my father left my mother alone like a popsicle

But it’s all good I was there for my mother, I comforted her and tried to hold my tears

Jesus, it’s incredible how much your life can all change in one year

The end is near even though my dreams are now being started

Summary of my life that has left my soul bombarded.
