Nothing Can Stop Me Now

I roll quickly away from my childhood cave
wanting more sun, music, dancing, delight in my life
no one follows me, glad I am gone

Berkley calls, and I answer her.
Enthusiastic now beyond any other sense I have ever had.
I am a genius here, not a do-nothing, know-nothing

Now I can be my soul-self
The music is different, the sky is pink.
I am fresh and new.

My cave memories dissipate quickly.
I get ten thousand social media requests
I shut down my computer and begin to draw

I draw fish out of the sea,
and I draw my own conclusions
knowing I am brilliant now
Nothing can stop me.
