Words in Motion 2013 - Feature Poem of the Day

Break the Bounds

Like a lonely bird, with a broken wing

Though I can’t fly, I can still sing

I won’t be held down by limitations

I’ll break the bounds of imagination

Though the world can be cruel and world can be tough

As long as I’m here; I won’t give up

I won’t be held down by limitations

I’ll break the bounds of imagination

Only time will tell, if I am wrong or right

So until that day I’ll keep fighting my fight

I won’t be held down by limitations

I’ll break the bounds of imagination

Please don’t tell me to come back to earth just yet

I’m happy where I am

A place I can disregard fear and regret as well as the willful woes of man

I won’t be held down by limitations

I’ll break the bounds of imagination
