Ofelia
Clear blue sky
Soulful eyes
No more cries
Tears like ice
Your hands
are a cage
that tame
a restless
heart

his
unseen
hands
unlock bars
and unleash
a wild thing

I am a
bird in
flight
now

set free

the skies
are mine
to taste

the oceans
mine to
drink

I am man -
less

and blossoming

without
constraints
of love
Always be driven from within
Be the one who achieves
Set your standards high
Put your mind to it and believe
Success awaits you
Go through the testimony
Let the rhythm move you
Reach for your victory
Cleared the mind
Years of walking blind
Once inner peace is found
Things become more appealing
Strength within builds confidence
Stand one moral ground
Overcome peer pressure
Walk with faith and have no fear
Rise above it all believe in yourself
Please take me higher,
but don’t let me come crashing down,

Because I don’t know how long I’d last,
Once I hit the ground.
