Oasis

Oasis

08-27-2010

Another positive one :)

Today the sun shines again

As I walk across the avenues

Of  destiny again with a grin

on my face.

I was so close to being vaporized,

So close to being buried alive,

But, I clung to a chance,

And I dragged my feet through the desert,

And, I found my opportunity at long last.

Chorus:

I found my water in the desert,

I found my chance to be significant once again

Gone are my days of youth now,

As I accept the challenges of  adulthood.

I found my stability once again,

I found the courage to make a stand,

And declare that things will be different this time.

No, this ain’t no illusion,

I have found my oasis.

A place where I can learn and grow,

A place I can call my home away from home,

An alternative to my previous distortions.

I had lost my grip on reality,

The days and nights became muddled together

And, I lost my sense of purpose as I fought depression.

But, I still had strength and that strength carried me here,

And there is no turning back now.

Chorus

On my day of destiny,

I stayed up all night

Because I was so excited for change.

And, after such a long drought,

I was easily taken in and accepted

To be part of the team.

Chorus

I know the journey still goes on from here,

And it will be difficult to get everyone to love

A Complex personality like mine,

But, I have got to keep believing, I have got to stay social and free,

And not tied up,

And I will achieve the level of prominence I

Have desired for so long.
