My Take On Life

-Shad H. Deal Jr. 1995 (Wisconsin)



I imagine a brick wall in front of me and I know that is my obstacle. Sometimes I feel like a kool-aid man breaking through that wall screaming OOH-YEAH! but sometimes I shatter against that brick wall and spill my kool-aid.

I feel like a joker in a deck of cards I can put myself in as a wild card and be whatever I want other times I am left out of the deck and swept aside. But it's okay to watch from the sidelines.

Sometimes not everything needs to be overcome, sometimes they're there to teach you that it's okay to have obstacles you just have to try your best to overcome them and if you can't that's okay too. I am Shad Deal and this is 'My Take On Life'.
