people who aren't afraid of the fact that they are people.
that they are human. people who are not afraid to laugh at
themselves. people who know how important it is to REALLY
listen, not just hear. people who can understand me when i
mumble. folks who understand me when i
start 'takin it to the streets.' oh, and one more thing.
the bad kids are not bad kids. oh,definitely not. so try
not to stare, even if they give you dirty looks. some
people aren't so used to smiling at strangers. they're a
little fearful of the unknown, too. just like me. just
like you.
