Midway
by Naomi Long Madgett
I've come this far to freedom and I won't turn back
I'm climbing to the highway from my old dirt track
I'm coming and I'm going
And I'm stretching and I'm growing
And I'll reap what I've been sowing or my skin's not black.
I've prayed and slaved and waited and I've sung my song
You've bled me and you've starved me but I've still grown strong
You've lashed me and you've treed me
And you've everything but freed me
But in time you'll know you need me and it won't be long.
I've seen the daylight breaking high above the bough
I've found my destination and I've made my vow:
So whether you abhor me
Or deride me or ignore me
Mighty mountains loom before me and I won't stop now,
I'm on my way toward making a
better life for myself,
I'm climbing because the
highway is uphill from the dirt
road.

Answer 1

Answer: I'm on my way toward making a better life for myself.

Explanation: The highway can be thought of as a route where there are endless possibilities and a long way to go and the old dirt track means a place where there are no good opportunities and everything's not as good as it could be.
