    Poem meanings?
    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 eyes.

    It continues on with --

    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!

    Written by Georgia Douglas Johnson (1880-1966)

    The very first line is the core truth.
