Invisible Walls

by Walter   Jul 11, 2020


I think we are all mindset
Within our circle we all stay
We are all taught from early life
That it seems to be this way

An imaginary line drawn
A boundary not to cross
You might live your whole life
But remaining at a loss

It's too late when you're too old
To regret what you didn't do
Because you always listened
To everyone else except for you

And didn't follow your dreams
As all you did was give
But never took enough
For the life you want to live

Do you remember as a child
When your passion was so high?
Becoming so determined
To reach up for the sky

Only then to blame reality
Accepting it's not this way
And feeling forced to follow
On the ground our feet would stay

Life is not about money
Or just buying essentials
But using the time we have here
To full potential

Think back as a child
How in the playground we would grin
We can still enjoy this playground
Which is now the world that we live in

Our short time here on earth
We should relish all its views
And not work away our golden years
To enjoy just the few

But aiming for content
When we think back to our past
Because life is just too short for us
To leave dessert till last

    Thanks so much for reading and your comment Brittany and yes, there are no rules that say life has to be this way. I truly believe this is the time we should be enjoying it the most and there is nothing stopping us but our own self.

    Being a child was probably the best thing most people can remember in their life's. They are the years where we look to the stars and find the sky has so many wonders and we dream so big and think we can accomplish so much.

    But then we start growing up and realize that some things just weren't meant to be. We can dream that we can do this and do that but what has limited us is what those around us tell us we can or cant do. Only those brave enough to go off the beaten path accomplish big things.

    But I love this piece as you are telling us that we dont have to do what society or anyone else tells us. We can eat dessert FIRST if we want. We do not have to do it last, we make our own path!

    Great Poem!
