Be the change, don’t wish for it.
I hear it over and over again.
I do what I can, when I can.
Damn, I try.

Finding my purpose in life.
Not an easy pathway,
But I think I’ve found the light.
A new day passes.

The end of the tunnel expands.
The sun rays, I feel on my skin.
Clouds creep from the distance,
Threatening the moment.

I throw out the umbrella; let the storm come.
I’m at the finish line, I’m done running.
Fists up, ready for what may come.
A passive lover turned aggressive fighter.

Wanting all that I’ve earned,
Accepting the gifts I’ve been given,
Using them to make for a better tomorrow.
The road to healing is turning its course.

Arise from the mercy of the knees,
Re-baptized by the Earthly rains.
