By Kim Leatherman
I lived in a box within my mind
small, comfy and safe the walls well defined
Experiences and beliefs built up each wall
Protecting myself was the point of it all
The boundaries were clear, no risk would I take
Fear was in charge of decisions I'd make
The box served its purpose for such a long time
Till I became conscious of the box's true crime
It robbed me of purpose and many a gift
As I was awakened, these limits I'd lift
Of beliefs I had formed, "were they true"?, I would ask
Reevaluating myself became my new task
As the walls began crumbling, I came to find
The fear and the limits were all in my mind
As I challenged those thoughts, my purpose grew clear
To spread peace and love is the reason I'm here
My life has expanded, I take on new things
Creating and growing with each day life brings
The fears that had stopped me, I see were perceived
If we challenge our thoughts, dreams can be achieved
The Root Of Us
