I Will Not Be Confined

Many years ago and still even recently folk tried to put me into a box. By telling me what to say and how to say it. I tried to abide because I didn't want to cause a scene. Every time I tried to adapt and fit into the chosen box, I was never able to fix into any box given. I broke it each and every time. Because I was never born to be confined to a box. 7-11-19 Alexis Y.

We can't be confined or restricted - we are free spirits who fly high into the sky and create our own destiny! So well penned and very clever . Hugs Alexis, Jennifer.

My dearest, Alexis, even if there is no-one to confine us still life itself imposes upon us its inescapable rules. Yes, in certain occasions we have to because we live in a society and we have to play by its rules in order to collaborate and to coexist. Certainly , unnecessary confinement in boxes we ought not to accept and these we must avoid at any cost! Thoughtful writing! Hugs xxx
