I’m taking back my mind that got hijacked on the way
I drew conclusions about myself young
From the cold stares and the air of disappointment
“Every Silverlining has a cloud” was how I braced myself
Trained myself to prepare for the worst
This safety suit was my comfort
When the temperature rose and fell like a bird of prey.
Now I get to control the thermostat
There is no one I can blame
I set my sails for a foreign land
And yes there may be storms along the way
But I am going
Where I am available to more good than I have ever imagined.
Please won’t you join me?
