I AM....

                                                                                  My orneriness sits in a dish with the root beer barrels

I gave a rest to the rest of my youthful angst and needless quarrels

                       For now I am

               A lion

                                           I  am not crying

                                                                    I am

                                                                          I am alright

      My drunken dangers and life rearrangements

                                         Familial estrangements

                                                                              Gone away and today and everyday I pull along

                                                                                                                                                For now I am

A lion

            Full of lucid dreams of flying

                                                       I am

                                                              I am rapture

My silhouette of drugs and regret cannot get to me anymore

I lean against the Army's King and ignore the life traps and trip ups

                                                              For I am

                                              Now I am

                                I am a lion

                I am a lamb

                                                                                                    I am what others cannot understand

                                I am the made over with a purposeful plan

I am

I am

                                                                                                                  I am the new me

                                                               And I am happy for me
