Poem Title:
Poem
I am above the influence For I am aware the consequence If I choose the corrupted path The statistics waiting to classify my soul Oppressors can’t steal away this joy, Though they try every level of tactics, every obvious ploy I can see the sunshine even when shadows of darkness fog the pathway Through the eye of the storm I see the outcome of peace Discriminators can’t take away this joy I have inside No need to hide my wings if I choose to fly high as I please Enjoying this day with such ease Even if I appear consumed by complacency I am bypassing negativity contagious to the soul and mind I am above the influence For I am aware the consequence The statistics waiting to disguise my identity I have no sad songs and my heart to sing No blue notes to play in the key of “this day” Through the eye of the storm I see… paradise I don’t have to think twice about where I longed to be I am sure of one thing… I am still for right now and that’s all that seems to matter I am above the influence For I am aware the consequence The opinions of others … they desire my mind to process Swallow whole the notion I am inferior to them, How I am an intern in the name of status quo To yield the ignorance that breeds lost troubled souls They fail to know… Naysayers can’t possess this joy I have inside Where love and happiness collide I am granted blessed with another day to see A mind elevated Above the influence
