Boundaries To Limit Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The most difficult challenge faced,
By anyone living today...
Is the choosing to be oneself.

And the opposition to the doing of this,
Is not restricted to those,
Hiding behind their deceptions imposed.
No!
The very ones who believe they 'know',
Someone from a past had long ago...
Are the first to restrict with boundaries and limits.
And times long gone they can not let go.
Ensuring they too will never bloom to grow.
Or be introduced to truth to mature.
