Living Life on Lifes Terms

In a sea of square black caps I sit
Me a major twice over
Never thought I would see this shit
A gift to never have to play rover

I can be who I was born to be
The world has become a larger pond
Now a big fish no longer a flea
A new jacket now donned

Pushing on getting ready to teach
A Ph.D. I seek
A new generation to reach
I am a monster never weak

I can breathe and breathe deep
Tears all dried no need to weep
Free from secrets none to keep
Into a a new life I leap
