"In the freedom from one thing one becomes enslaved by another..."
Written in 2005
I am a man...I have been struggling for the past decade and beyond...
I was a lost man...I lost my way within the warped perceptions of my own
mind as i was made to dance around and into the curve balls of life...All I
was able to see is a labyrinth before me and I knew it had no end...or so I
firmly believed...I kept on turning looking for happiness but I was met with
everything but that...Happiness was only an illusion that tricked me only to
keep going around in circles and squares...and I seek change...but the
change I have been given was just another curve ball it was imperative to
rise above!
From corporate greed, to addiction, from lust to emotional obsession, from
religious fanaticism to atheism, from sanity to insanity and back.
It has been a long stretched and squeezed journey in the name of liberty and
I wanted to be free...but freedom can only be selective for in the freedom
from one thing I had to become a slave to another...In my pursuit of being
freed from prison I became a prisoner of life, and in my success to be freed
from religions, I became a slave to my own ideas...
I had to free myself from "Responsible Masculinity", and the great
expectations of a man!
I am a man who went through a struggle and so I deserve what I have
today...I am a self made man and I am proud of who I am today...I have not
found that absolute bliss I thought I could achieve...I understand that life
can't be viewed through rose colored glasses...that would make me a mad
man and not in a complimentary way...
so you, my woman, must understand...you must support my beliefs and
admire where I am today...It is not wise of you, my lady, to assume that after
a life sentence of being enslaved by dogma, political correctness, society,
thoughts and feelings, you can build more bars around me that are only for
you to keep...I am free to choose whose slave I want to be!
