Self Confinement

Confined within our own walls

By Jeanroy GrantPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

I think we limit our own potential

placing boundaries on ourselves

in fear of what we may encounter,

too afraid to venture out into the unknown

we enclose our perception

to generational ideals and traditions

that keep us grounded and extremely stagnant,

a safe haven it may be

however a fragment of what’s to be seen,

we are hopeful for the very environment that confined us

to one day gain the ability to change the looming fate we think truly

shapes our life,

an issue that can only be resolved in the pits of oneself.
