Challenge
Write a poem about borders and boundaries.
Constricted By Invisible Rules
Confined behind invisible lines
Thoughts and actions expected to abide
By rules left unsaid, yet implied
Too often to be forgotten
Place one toe on the other side
And suffer at your own peril
Darting eyes penetrate your soul
Loud whispers mock the bold
Lines play across sands
Moving towards new lands
No longer can you see freedom
For restrictions will extend
And capture your spirit again
Many have crossed over,
They have fled limitations imposed
But only few have succeeded
In carving a worthy life
Out in the wondrous wilderness
The rest have succumbed
Still trapped in linear lives
And envy those victorious
Men and women
Who are no longer bound by
Invisible Borders and Boundaries
