Bounded



There are walls, all around,
only to be felt, nothing to see,
I feel like a captive all my life,
freedom being a distant dream.

Too much noise, all around me,
I barely hear the sounds within,
Too long have I ignored these thoughts,
now, they're barely a whisper to me.

bounded by money, bounded by job,
bounded by the fear to loose it all,
bounded by future, bounded by past,
bounded am I all along.

There is no light, there is no end,
darkness is all I see,
All I have is a candle of hope,
hope to break the walls I see.

Fighting have I always been,
and too long have the battles been,
for there is a whisper in my head,
endure it all, there shall be a win.

As stupid as this poem might seem,
trust me friends there is a wall,
bounded will we always be,
without the courage to break free.

There are walls all around,
only to be felt, nothing to see,
I feel like a captive all my life,
freedom being a distant dream.

  4. Great poem, and so true! We are indeed all chained, but to attain freedom, a heavy price must be paid. Keep writing!

  6. You've written a lovely poem here... and it's not silly at all! :) We could be bound by the strongest and highest of walls, but the moment we choose to "unsee" them , they kinda disappear. They have a funny characteristic, these walls.. the importance you give them, the stronger they grow... Don't bother about them, and they vanish.. like they were never there!
    Hope you are having a fabulous July!!!

  7. your comment is an honor!, thank you :)
    True, these walls have a wicked way of reinforcing themselves, we might spend an entire lifetime in them, without knowing what it means to be free!
    Wish you too, have a phenomenal month ahead!!
