"Elevators"

It has ups and downs and goes all around.
As you reach your final destination.
You will know when you arrive on the ground.
Feeling the floor of your current nation.

You are taking the big elevator.
Alone in a box full of new strangers.
Don’t confuse it with the escalator.
For those have far more humongous dangers.

Clicking on the floor, of which you want more.
Watching the small numbers change as it moves.
Dreaming of when it opens its doors.
Getting more nervous, you look at your shoes.

The doors are slowly opening wider.
Getting off you are now not a rider.
