flight. 

I am flight. 

Like a tawny eagle swooping down on its blue-black prey

I am flight. 

Impervious to the salty air of ignorance, the stench of envy and the sweet smell of self-doubt

i am flight. 

I transform. 

Like hits on the radio, I change with the times

I grow into the something that can withstand the crimes

Of the heart and those who oppose

i love steadily, constantly, passionately and monogamously 

I needeth not any hose

Of negativity blasting its chaos and nasty funk into my vibe

Because my life is a beautiful story and the Man Upstairs is the scribe

I am metamorphosis 

No more shoulda-coulda-woulda's

No more never-in-a-million-years' 

No more you're-right-I-wont-ever-make-it

No more darkness

I am light.

I am flight

I am the Chocolate dipped Fred Astaire

I am the Suntanned Gene Kelly

The bronze James Dean

Hell, I'm Oprah Winfrey

And there's no stopping me

Doubt no more

I am (F)light 

Now watch me soar.
