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.

Confined by a Wall; Restricted by a Boundary; Stagnated by it All..............overflowing in poetry! great! ! .
What a striking metaphor! Beautiful succinct expression of everyone's desire to break out of the self and become a part of the whole. This is a really good poem!
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

I would like to translate this poem
A magnificent roll of designed words that fuel the flames of life-affirming freedom. There's a distinguished feeling of triumph here which runs deep and can bring to mind actual examples in today's complex world of countless social barriers. It's not too hard to embrace and indulge in the strong and righteous visual of it.
