Limit not your own reality

You can dance on burning rocks

invincible to the lavishing flames beneath your feet

A spinning top of uptmost glory 

running untarnished over the coals

Why do you limit yourself to your own reality?

the doors you are closing yourself 

locking a kindred spirit behind a closed mind

capturing and caging an entity of freedom

Goals are merely stepping stones

as simple as bounds and leaps 

Take them with no fear

Break down the walls that block your path

Why do you limit yourself to your own reality?

Believing in nothing but imminent destruction 

You can create such virulent success

Just hold onto strength for your wildest dreams

You can chase away the specter's from your mind

Drown your fears in acidic rivers of hope

You can win 

You can go home victorious

Paint not your fears , dress them in no golden robes

Do not feed them with such tortured thoughts

Believe in your own progression 

And dive endlessly over the oceans of your dreams

There is a great poem penned within these words....a revision/edit would bring this to the fore! As it stands its bit chunky......loose the fluff and you have a master piece.

Amazing. I am really impressed with the imagery...I could almost see and hear this in my mind. Aside from that the message was very powerful and honest. I think a lot of us give more power to our doubts and fears than we give to our own confidence. Everyones picking favorite lines, so I will as well.~

This means the most to me, I feel like it makes me look at the fact that I do this as well.
Great work dear. ^_^
