I refuse to be taken at face value.
Because there is so much more to me.
More then this visage you see.

My chance to truly make my mark.
It's my time to be better.
To find my voice.
To find my place.
To find my love, my passion.

Not anymore, not now.
There are too many people that need to know.
There are too many people that should be enlightened.
Everyone must know.
That there is much more to me then face value.

The road less traveled.
