I am short a breath or two <br />To find out what life means to you <br />Does it mean to you what it does me? <br />Then let go of my wings and set me free <br /> <br />True is the world beneath my feet <br />For it gives me shelter and food to eat <br />But it cares not how I become <br />Nor does it care I am blind, deaf, or dumb <br /> <br />For the mind of me has spoken <br />Verily, verily, my heart awoken <br />I must be true to myself and I <br />And I must fight until I die <br /> <br />I am the emperor of my life <br />I will decide how far I fly <br />And when it comes to one and two <br />Know that to myself I will stay true <br /> <br />I am the architect of my fate <br />And no obstacle shall make me late <br />Success is in this palm of mine <br />And to no gods I will confide <br /> <br />Black as the night sky before death <br />To reach blissfulness at final breath <br />I must become who I want to be <br />I am the wielder of my destiny<br /><br />Pete Rivera<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/victoria-4/
