    Poem Commentary

    Pent up emotion unleashed by my pen....

    Restricted

    My memories are
    Restricted
    The affection I want to show you is
    Restricted
    The words I want to say are
    Restricted
    The tears I want to cry are
    Restricted
    The truths I want to tell are
    Restricted
    The things you share with me are
    Restricted
    The time you spend with me is
    Restricted
    The money I can spend is
    Restricted
    The places I want to go are
    Restricted
    The way that I look is
    Restricted
    The ability to see my family is
    Restricted
    The freedom of my being is
    Restricted
    All of these restrictions
    Are causing a constriction
    In my chest
    I can't breathe
    Just want to seethe
    Just want to leave
    Just want to cry
    Just want to lie
    In a sleep that is free
    Where my fears cease to be
    Where I approve of myself
    Where I do belong
    Where I can love
    Where I can breathe
    Where I can see my own beauty
    Where I am not restricted
    By time
    By physicality
    By insecurity
    By identity
    By mentality
    By insanity
    By vanity
    By fear
    By judgment
    By thoughts
    By condemnation
    By rage
    By hate
    By ailment
    By talent
    By illness
    By sickness
    By sadness
    By uncertainty
    By doubt
    By not letting out
    All these things
    That chip away at me
    And fester within
    When I thought that
    I had released most of them
    Myself is restricted
    By my mind and these stories
    Realizing how restricted I feel
    In so many areas of my life
    Not too conducive to freedom
    Which is all that I crave...

    I wonder where the line is drawn? That line between restrictions. Between whether it is the conscious or fear? Selfishness or selflessness? One can see the restriction here by how the poem itself pours out as if a dam let loose caged waters. Intriguingly honest. Lies must truly be evil, for it always seems that the truth is not made to be held back. Loved the read.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
