Rising to Another Level

Rising to another level.
And cleansed from the bullshit,
Other folks shoveled...
I can be abrasive I admit to that!
But I don't scatter nonsense,
Or run like a timid cat!
I've clawed my way to achieve where I am.
Whether others understand me...
I don't give a damn!
If it wasn't for God rushing to my aid,
I would have been in a plot
Unmarked in a grave!
Rising to another level...
I see what keeps most afraid!
Restricted by denials,
And obstacles in their way!
