Authority Helper People

Authority 'Helper People' Tell Me

I can be anything I want to be

They are in the business of EMPOWERING ME

TO Empower Myself

Authority Helper People

They describe a me that I cannot find

They describe a me that they want me to be

They ignore the skills that I do have

To Understand other POOR PEOPLE

They (Authority 'Helper People') want me to

Be functional (ignoring my best skills)

Make a certain amount of money
(which I have learned to NOT NEED)

Do Public Speaking
(pertaining to THEIR guidelines)

Tell my story
(that they edit for me)

Authority Helper People

Do Not See Me.

Your welcome teeray,,,to be a outreach worker is true to my hearts calling,however the system and the way it stands now makes me cringe with presuing that calling...I really would like to see a space open up where we can treat people with dignity,respect and not have the Gov's paws in it.(Tent-CIty..)
