Elevator Poetry Poem by Ozie James

Extending mind with focuse and love
Views in a different light
Guidance from intellegence above
Shielded from dangers of the night
Covered in a golden hue
Deprived by oppressors intents of wrong
But it only strengthens instead of subdue
The struggle only makes me strong
Determined to rise despite how impossible it seems
Focusing my thoughts on high
As I humbley spread my wings
Now i know why the caged birds cry
They yearn to be free
To soar through the glorious sky
Parallel to the mind in me
As I spread my wings and fly
