''Gravy and Cream''

what if my life stays the same?
What if each day despite effort and pain
the same game, the same game, the same game?
Well, I promised myself I'd make changes
for that fear was what haunted my mind
So I searched high and low for a means to escape
to find sustenance of a rare kind
Next I harnessed my passion as fuel
called my talents and training to bear
Changed my thoughts and self image to build courage for leaving
with others whose vision I share
I soon found a huge door left wide open
with the promise of freedom beyond
So I cut loose and bolted with no second thoughts
before fear, friends or fam could respond
My commitment was never in question
"forward ever" this mantra of mine
My return on this path was just never an option
so success was a matter of time
And I weathered all life could throw at me
found the lessons in all I endured
Never once felt regret for deciding to try
never once let my dreams get obscured
When you honor the strength of commitment
to embark on the life of your dream
You'll find one day of freedom's worth ninety-nine bound
each day after's just gravy and cream!
