Why Compel? Poem by laya krishna

i aim not at the empty skies
they think i cannot fly
i say it isnt my passion
fools! they ask me 'why? '

they know not the deepest trenches
the smart would dare to try
they insist upon their words
fools! they compel me to fly...

i wanna swim the deepest waters
explore their richest mines
it aint any easier task i say
fools! they meddle with mine..

now i would make it clear
i no longer aim at that empty sky
i have a vision of my own
well, God has given me one so fine! ! !

Laya
