Poetry – I do not accept the limits – a poem of hope
I do not accept the limits
There are no rules. We make life up each and every moment.
All we have are habits and a heritage that we must pick from. Yet, with intelligence and personality, we can choose whatever path presents. We do not have to tread the well-trodden route.
There is nothing we cannot try. There is no way of knowing where a new path leads. That is how we discover new places.
If we try we might just succeed. There are no limits to what can be achieved if we but try.
We make our own limits, usually well within our scope. It is best to reach further even if we fall.
We are all building a new future.
There is a part to play.
Who is holding back?
I do not accept the limits
I do not accept the limits of my life.
Why should I?
There are no rules.
To push the boundaries
Is just part
Of what makes up
This pack of tools.
I dream of the impossible;
To create
A panacea
Fit for fools.

You were in a profession, that taught limits.
Not creatively. No limits to imagination or how you structure your life. There’s free thinking.
I know but you still had to teach limits of say behaviour otherwise well you don’t need me to tell you
I think the best way was to teach them about empathy and consequences so that they could set their own limits and understand the reasons to limit their own actions. That was always better than unexplained rules.
