Floating Poem by Mwenyeji Spikes

The air is heavy with intention to pull me down
She says gravity rules cannot be broken even in the shadows
Only if I had wings to set this spirit afloat and toss the feeling around
Why so much to fly for while I could sit comfortable on the ground
A magnimous purpose to live and be free with arms so open

When you float this high some will call it un-humble
Try to blow the dark smoke your way and shade your day darker
You can't be who you are living in fear of those that hate when you're higher
At the end of it all they say it's the humility and the lives you reached down to

Before the curtains close on my little show
I aspire to rise up higher for myself and for all that believe in me
Show the younger generation that they can make it only if they try
Tell the unbelievers that all is possible with a little faith and work
Be the emblem that stands high and conspicuous as a floating kite

Rest of them would try buoyancy will all agree with me
It's not about living inflated with feelings, it's more of letting go
Living beyond the limitations of things that put you down
Leaning against the wind and letting the worries fade for a little while
Nothing is perfect in this world but we all deserve a little floating
