A Road Agent always says please and thank you.
There is nothing that will stop me from looking for the world that I want to see.
And there is nothing that will stop you from doing the same.
We may have the same road to walk, we may not. But I will leave you with this one bit of advice. Don't push. Don't try to force me to think like you, and I will do the same. Don't you dare try to force someone to think like you around me, or I will always take their side. Don't bother to ask me questions like, "Where is your faith in all of this?" Because my answer will always be, "In my heart, where it belongs."
I will be kind to those who are willing to give me the same respect, and I will try to swallow my pride and be kind to those that don't.

But I will do what I need to do to walk my road.
And that means that I will try harder and harder to push outside of the bounds of this society. This world. I will take all the friends and family that I can, because they are myself, and I will hope that they are willing to walk with me. And I will look to the sky in the hopes that the hope that I have felt in my briefest moments of joy and freedom are something that I will be able to live a whole life with.
There is to much in my way.
To much greed, to much corruption, to much wealth. And that is just within myself. That is just me and my failures. But I won't let it capture me. I will take a step each day. I will remember that what I have in my bag are tools not toys. I will remember that I'm made of more than myself. I will remember that everything is there for the taking. And that I'm armed to the teeth. That I know who I am, and how I will deal with each situation that I'm forced to encounter. I will remember that often the argument isn't worth the hassle. And I will remember that I have a home.
So do with this what you please. Rewrite it to suit yourself. Print it just so you can burn it. Mock it. Hate me for it. I don't care. I now know that I have a home, and I'm just going to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Sometimes jogging, sometimes plodding, but always one step closer to home, and when I get there. I'm sure you will know.
So please find your road, walk with me, even if it isn't by my side, or the same way that I walk.
And thank you for bothering to read.
