I'M a Survivor

I never thought that I would be free Yes, free from negativity I never thought that I would be a meteor And crash from the dead galaxy Of mistrust, disgust, rejection Of lies, deceit, greed, and torment I never thought that I could survive Without the malicious you in my life Without anger, pain, self-hate and strife All of the sharp objects that I was born into And severely cut and bruised me Are falling like missiles with motion Of projectiles: Poverty, racism, lackadaisical teaching. I’m surviving finally free from Not thinking that I was wonderfully made Because I didn’t have the same star quality As someone else. Not ever feeling true love Because I was seeking it in the wrong region of space Dealing with corrupted minds of aliens From asteroids of arrogance and angst. I never thought I would fall into the heavens Of positivity I never thought that I would take off my goggles And say that I survived the mission I never thought I would be on board Traveling many light years as the captivated cadet Of hostility Nasty nebula was mission control. I say it now I’m on a new mission As a prosperous captain Of confidence It may pull me down Stronger than gravity’s force sometimes But I have a made up mind I’m standing firmly with an upside down frown Mighty motivation is mission control. I say it now and I say it bold To all of lavish aliens living In the galaxy of lustful lies I know that I will survive To all that jolt around in the Jupiter of jealousy I’m going to hop in on the Halley’s Comet of hatred Happily I’m a survivor and I will travel many more light years Happier.
