striving and struggling to stay alive, and when i say alive i mean living
not just existing but living to the point that i can change lives
change lives and create inspiration in such uninspiring times to give hope
to those who are hanging on by a very thin rope
create hope and inspiration to the ones who feel out of reach but are just an inch away
an inch away from greatness, from love, from living not existing
all i want is to create a fire in those who have no fire in their soul
to resurrect the lives of those who are ready to let it all go

Ahh..you may be a poor man but you certainly are rich in inspiration and hope.
Keep hoping, keep writing and you will create that fire....

as far as free writing, there are no rules, really. to me, it is easier than your normal style. but each of us have what comes to us naturally. huh? may i say on that note, write from your heart each time and i think we'll get good reads from you.
you got an awesome point across here. i appreciate you for that.

Richness is not defined by how thick our wallet is, eh? You captured and conveyed those sentiments well with this one.

Thank you for an enjoyable and wise read.
