Poety: Let Me Live

Barred by self-limitations

Crowded by cares

Settling for

Comfort zones

Watching at a distance

I heard a voice softly speak, “Let me live”

Wishing

Empty

Daydreaming

Folding to challenges

The path of least resistance

The voice whispered again, “Let me live”

“Who are you?” I asked

“Faith,” the voice responded

“Live,” I answered

Turning stumbling blocks into stepping stones

Casting cares

Tenacity

Dancing on the edge

Touching

“Live!” I screamed

Vision

Overflowing

Purpose

Warrior

Running for the road less traveled

Living
