I Can Make It On My Own

Leaving Star in not a loss.
Actually it’s what I need.
That way, I can be the boss.
I am smart. I will succeed.

I have made enough mistakes.
Also done a lot correct.
I know I have what it takes.
Now if I can just connect.

After all these years you’d think,
I’d have given up and quit.
Granted, I’ve been on the brink,
then my burners get relit.

I am going to try once more.
Concrete work, at one time paid.
Learning from the time before.
All the progress I had made.

I know what I did so wrong.
Also what I did so right.
All my features, weak and strong.
Dreams within and out of sight.

I do not fit in at Star.
I must go it all alone.
I know, someday, I’ll go far.
I can make it on my own.
