“To fore fill the need to be in this world is all I ask. I cant pretend to be something that Im not, and I won't wear a mask. There's this need to be true to myself, and make my own mistakes. Im not fool enough to ever think I can be the master of my fate, but its up to me to chose my roads in life rocky it will be the one I take.
