Sky High aka I Am Flying High

This poem/ spoken word piece is quite unique as I wrote this to a track produced by DJ Maintain, I haven't written a poem to a track for a very very long time. It was love at first listen and after months of stopping and starting the creative flow, hence it took me ages to complete (just too many distractions), I finally finished it! 

Sound Poem for Sky High aka I Am Flying High

Now who once told me that I could be all that I want to be

That I can aim high in the sky

And look down from the clouds

And not be put down or looked down upon

Like a human watching an ant passing by

Or frowned upon like I’m just an add on

Something last thought about

A full stop before my name Traysi

An added extra like .com

See you later it’s the brake light

The last in the queue and

The last pick for the team

The third friend that’s last to be left behind

No that’s not me

For I am aiming high to the point of losing all recognition

In the process of a metamorphosis  

People stand muttering shading the sun from their eye

Is it s bird, is it a plane

No its just me flying by

Taking forward talents

No longer am I letting life stamp out dreams from newborn

Formed in the womb are my ambitions

Formed in the womb are my ambitions

Missions to be fulfilled

Destinies to be written

Tracing footstep prints along faint lines of pre-ordained decisions

Pre-written storylines

Making history by carving my life story on tree trunks

Lasting for generations and generations and generations

I was created to do something great

I was made and molded like play dough

Sealed with the stamp of the Holy Spirit glow

The seed of me was planted a long time ago

And I stand here today bearing fruit

And I stand here today understanding the importance of my existence

I am a part of the bigger picture

Like the smile on the Mona Lisa

I can never understand fully all things that are in-store

I have to keep on walking along paths of direction

Accept every opportunity with love and affection

I get satisfaction from pleasing the Most High

It is time for me to fly high
