Limiting Our Restrictions

Sometimes
Limits
Are Placed
On us
To make
Better
People
Sometimes
Limits
Turn out
To be
What we
Needed
To grow
Into
What God
Gave us
Lastly,
Limits
Sometimes
Are meant
To be
Broken
To prove
That we
Never
Needed
Restraints
At all
Henceforth
Break your
Limits
And live
Like you
Know that
You should

This is an encouraging poem. My favorite lines are, "Limits Sometimes Are meant To be Broken To prove That we Never Needed Restraints At all"
