The poem “Behind Constraints” was inspired by a meme that stated, “You don’t always have to be who they want you to be.”
The goal of being is a task assigned by those who know best from the rules put to page bringing most to broad dismay to be unique is not a goal exalted above those below to be set in boxes with four walls much like a prison where dreams die bars for windows lest birds fly escape to the sky far above still the freedom may be dreamed from the comfort of velvet chains embrace the freedom now denied pass through to the other side disavow the harsh request be the person behind constraints.
