Exiled (Change)

I'm no longer a member of the tribe.

I have to make my own way now.

I know I might not have fit.

And I know I can't quit.

Change is re-birth. Change is growth.

Change can come from within.

But change often comes from without.

Without the tribe I know I will still survive.

My identity is not dependent on the tribe.

I am still wholly myself.

With peculiar aspirations.

And indomitable self-belief.

Every challenge is also an opportunity.

There is always a choice.

There is always a solution.

They took away my badge.
But they can't take my pride.
I know I didn't make the numbers.
But I know I still have value.
Numbers are irrefutable, like God.
I still shine on. I still believe.
I can't put a price on my value.
(I just know it's very high).
