The Word of Mankado

Constantly convince myself
That living is for real
Excited about existing
But existing, no big deal
I'm just biding time
Waiting for my ride
I can feel it coming
As it slowly grows inside
A journey of self-reflection and truth, The Word of Mankado reaches for the thoughts, laughter, and tears inside all of us.
