I am a well.
Confined by a wall;
Restricted by a boundary;
Stagnated by it all.
I desire to be a river;
I desire to flow;
I desire to merge
With waters diverse.
My wall is a block.
A societal construct;
A self-imposed isolation;
A resultant stagnation.
I desire to break this wall
Brick….by…Brick;
I desire to flow
Merge…Blend…Mix.

I greatly enjoyed this one. Such a wonderful expression of your feelings. So simple and direct. I can relate to these words so very much. Great job!
Very good! I like the brick by brick! ! ! ! Good work! SusanB
I'm not sure about the title of this piece. It seems to me that confined or restricted may have been a more appropriate title for this. It really wasn't a very unique message. I don't think you can put a word like desire in a title and expect the reader to be impressed after they read such a writing as this. It was, in my view, average. GW62
A wonderful poem rooted in modern realities. Thanks for shaing. K V Venkataramana

Asma, there's nothing stagnant about your poetry... I'd say it flows quite nicely. Great write! ! Brian
