As morning comes, I always get scared, because another day must be beared. People say to look above, but all I get is abused and shoved. Life took a young man with hopes and dreams, and reduced him to nothing as so it seems. I try as I may to still be a man, during the bowell routines and all the hell that quad life demands. Everyones forgotten who I was , and treat me like shit ........just because. I started strong in this game, but when I think.......who is to blame? Was I just another victim of circumstance or from the beginning did I have no chance? As the years go by it means less and less because I am still human nevertheless. Ron
