Authenticity: A Manifesto

There are a lot of blogs out there as well as many writers. Everyone is looking for “the way” to make it and have their voice heard.

In the distance, I can see,
Those whose lives are completely free.
The chains that bind me threaten to kill,
My strength is diminishing and I can’t stand still.
