Unimagined

In my pain, I have gained
In my shame, I got a name
In my loss, I never was lost
In my penury, I went through the refinery-
              there my destiny was revealed

 And who would have thought all along that a slob from the slum could have the 
guts to leave the ruts to be a king with a ring on a throne and cant be dethroned 
by any imaginable human effort.
