! Trapped ! Poem by Linda Ori
! Trapped !
Deep within a cell of my own making,
The door remains unlocked -
I have but to open it;
Refuge from the world outside my door,
From the trappings of my mind -
The choice is mine;
Self-preservation holds me prisoner,
No shackles bind me here -
Yet here I stay;
Outside the world is scarey beautiful,
Safely predictable within -
What could it hurt?
Let me push that boundary just a little,
Fresh and sweet the air -
Through that open door.

Indeed enlarging small point to a big circle will give you a better space to breathe!
'Let me push that boundary just a little, Fresh and sweet the air - Through that open door.' Witty composition with nice ending,10+

Linda, I know that feeling oh so very well. At some point we have to take a chance. However, most of us are too afraid to leave the safety of which we have been accustomed to. Great insight written here. Top marks and thank you for sharing it my friend. Hugs David
