Heart of a Tiger is why it was my first tattoo
At 15 years old I was ready to do what I needed too
Riding every emotion I did all that I felt to be true
Lifes definitely been a wild spectacular theater & zoo
Dreams turned to nightmares then nightmares to Dreams
Going against the system is all I've know and seen
While independently most humans are acting without greed
Once in departments and regulations we just tick boxs to be free
Bills dictating the directions each of us want to go
None of us every really knowing the joy to follow the soul
Saving up time to find enough in a row to relax and feel whole
"It's just the way it is and there is nothing you can do"
Has never sat well with me and really it shouldn't with you!
Although my tattoo may now be nearly 30 years faded
My courage to walk the untrodden path is still unjaded
Once I'm able to get back out of the hole I'm currently drowning in.
Maybe I just need to go to the bottom to find my crown again
Then come back up to keep floating further than I've even been

Great write, Dan. "None of us ever really knowing the joy to follow the soul." For sure. Been trying, but taken many a wrong turn myself. I'm digging myself out of the hole I dug for myself too. It's deep!
I felt it a few times that's for sure but rivers get wild and all of that jazz! Just keep following your gut and I'll meet your there soon!
Really appreciate your time my friend
We rise and fall like the tides of the ocean. Great write!
Boom you know it! Thank you kindly my friend
Life comes with no instruction manuals, so we must live each day the best we can. Great write Dan. 😉👍
Ah the one that sparked this little write with your word of courage my flame was back bright! Honestly my friend.. no joke. You brought me back to life!
Thank you
