A Platform To The World I Shunned For Years

From Counterfeit Freedom by Roland F. Stoecker Jr (author's profile)

Transcription

I so desperately wanted a platform to reach out to the world I shunned for years, and now I have the opportunity my words are as fleeting as my hairline. This short poem describes how I feel:

I live in a world,
made of brail [sic]
without fingers
11/17/12

I am so thankful to have this opportunity to reach out past the razor wire and cold concrete. I just hope I have more to say.
Roland

Hi Roland-

Wow. Those are profound words. I'm glad you're here and I also hope you'll have more to say. I have a feeling you will. -Voice12

Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post.

I am waiting to hear more words from you... perhaps some info about your picture?

I read on your profile descriptions music helps to distract you, what kind of music do you enjoy listening?

I'm glad you are reaching out. Please keep your motives pure and your intent honest. I'll be watching for more of your posts. Have a very happy holiday (as good as you can).
