The Box You’ve Outgrown A Poem by Gem
Look past the walls,pen the drapes,
Dare to peer out,
And plan your escapes,
From the box that you’re standing,
So still and so meek,
Dare to reach out,
And have a sneak peek
Of what just might be,
Of what you still dream,
That excites and delights you,
That gives you your steam
They may have gone quiet,
Those big plans and dreams,
As they aren’t in this box,
So, they’re scary, it seems
Your beliefs, fears and doubts,
All act as a wall,
But this little box,
Has gotten too small
So, bend, break or lower,
Those limiting walls,
Seek, grow and prosper,
And learn from your falls
What would you do?
And where could you win?
If these pesky walls
Weren’t holding you in?
So, chase your big goals,
Beyond this safe zone
Step out of the box,
The one you’ve outgrown.
Want To Achieve Your Dreams? Try Disgust
To your inspirations,
Banchi
