Breathing Room

No room to breathe 

Or catch one's breath

Words and phrases 

Once written on pages

Just as easily lost

A world without borders

No judge, no jury

Freedom with wings

To love oneself completely

Clinging to words bound

Caught within a dream

Reality just in reach

Coming up for air 

Before one drowns

Writing on pure emotion

True to style and form

You open up so many possibilities in this lovely verse. The world without borders would be perfection and sadly lives only in the heart of the poet.
