“In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe."

I can’t be free of the things I create. The metal bars that are surrounding are closing in deeper and deeper .I’m not free. My pressure of perfect is too low. I am still in the deep cage of anger. The breaking of the anger will unlock the frustration festering inside me. I won’t be restricted from the mental freedom promise. The clouds of anger in me will never blur my mind in confusion. Realizing that I was fighting myself with the emotion of aggressiveness. Can I not have that physical freedom promise? If anger is gone….
Yes I can.
