Omen



So here I am to be somehow
Not as I was but as I am for
Surviving then arriving now
Going on knowing more than before

To be or not but either way
What I learned the hard way coming through
Mistaken then makes me come true
With what it takes to now if I do

I used to be indifferent
Neither more nor less than either or
But then I had forgotten how
I got here and forgot what it meant

Born at night with a lightning flash
And with a frightening thunder crash
One to make everyone wonder
My mother spoke my name to the sky

No doubt about it then that I
Was sent by the lightning and thunder
Meant as an omen good or bad
Of insight that might make me go mad

Though I went on to anyway
For now is how I might as well be
New Year's Eve 1954
Haunting me wanting me to be more

Having understood now that it
Might not be right for me not to stay
Maybe I could get good at it
Having understood how finally

It took a lifetime but I see
Looking back at that omen of me
