Today was a day of epiphany

Of quiet contemplation and meditative reverie
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent
And when I consider how my light is spent, I see

The world is not too much with us and
We are not victims of circumstance
To banish remains of my ignorance
I have to step inside myself and
Claim responsibility

Today I reject convalescence
Because we are not cogs in the machine
I decree to break free from despair
And fear of liability

Today I choose to renounce all pain
And look deep within unafraid
The place is here, the time is now
Today I decide to be the change
