Lost and Broken

Boundaries

The boundaries are known
And I'll never cross the line
I'll be sure to think through it
The next time I wanna try

The line is clear,
A straight path drawn
The one I shall follow
Past the time life moves on

I start to question the boundaries
And what I've been taught
I think through everything,
Build opinions based on my own thoughts

I step across the line
And the guilt I imagined does not appear
For I was wearing binds
I should not have accepted throughout the years

I live outside the box
And learn the new dangers
I see the sharp rocks
And walk through my own adventures

Free at last in my heart
I go back to view the boundary
I find that it's no longer a part
Of the place that was once home to me

The line is no longer there
The box no longer clear
For when I broke the rules and stepped through,
My old life saw and soon followed

I've made a new reputation
I've cleared the hollows
And my life is connected
Again with my past
The pride has been swallowed
