Reach...
I reach into myself.
What does that mean?
It means I have to be honest.
I have to be real.
If not, then I am reaching into someone else.
I have to face what is here and subdue it, befriend it,
Buy it a drink.
It's taken a long time to realize that fact.
To be real means to accept, warts, scars, and all
The way I am and the state of the world around me.
To change the world requires self-change.
This will always be my battle.
