ALCHEMIST

You may not know from looking

All you’ll see’s this cute disguise

But I am no mere mortal

I am more than meets the eye

I am a magician

And my mindset is my wand

I possess the power

To create the life I want

You can send me suffering

Or heartbreak or disdain

Go ahead reject me

Hurl your judgments, cause me pain

I focus on the lesson

Never linger on the loss

There’s nothing here of value

That was not learned at a cost

With the power of my mind

I change hurt into a gift

There isn’t an experience

My mindset cannot shift

Adversity refines me

And is for my benefit

And with my magic mindset

I make wisdom out of it

Everything that happens

Is exactly as it should

All that I experience

Is for my highest good

I love myself with fervor

And protect me with defiance

My perspective is so special

I should be researched by science

So go ahead and hurt me

Leave me crying in the dust

Toss me some rejection

I will turn it into love

I’ll never be a victim

I turn chaos into art

All your hate can hope to do

Is elevate my heart

I am a magician

And my mindset is my wand

I possess the power

To be anything I want
