I say angry, or I say glad.

It's not graffiti after all.
The past has been broken. The prison's not real.
My word holds the magic - the power to heal.
Intent is my weapon - a sword from above.
Cruel hate, fear, and anger transmute into love.
This world's my joy. This mouth's my toy.

Which beliefs hold you prisoner to yesterday
and limit your options for designing a great future?

should become the foundation of your being -
your reason for living.
Take action on those beliefs.
