Your World
By: Georgia Douglas
Your world is as big as you make it.
I know, for I used to abide
In the narrowest nest in a corner,
My wings pressing close to my side.
But I sighted the distant horizon
Where the skyline encircled the sea
And I throbbed with a burning desire
To travel this immensity.
I battered the cordons around me
And cradled my wings on the breeze,
Then soared to the uttermost reaches
With rapture, with power, with ease!
Poem Main Idea
The writer is talking about breaking out and soaring around
the places that she has yet to reach. She talks about the experience she could have
and how she so much desires to travel. Then towards the end she opens up and flies.
Why this Poem?
[CHORUS]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway
"Connection Theme"
Spinning World
That you could make a wish and it would all be gone?
We're all in this world without a voice,
And some not able to make our own choice.
Should we choose to fall down the dark road of passion?
Or choose to follow our own unique fashion.
So hard when no one knows what you can do.
It's time to step out and show them the new you.
Breaking out of the shell and hoping not to fail.
It's time to break free and soar high.
Break free into the big blue sky,
Where white clouds come and take you away
And you feel like you can just fly.
