Initiative

Breach the limitations set  by example.
Set your mind free to roam the unknown.
Learn that fear is a physical trait,
which sits beneath a similar boundary.

But we have the keys to our chains.
And we alone choose to fly or be grounded.
We can leave without a single thread of emotion
and let it hinder our progress no longer.

The possibilities are endless when void of restraints.
We can lead our minds on to the highest of peaks
or delve ourselves lower through perpetual sea,
a world forever untouched by abusive hands.

Begin the release of the bounding fists
with a simple nudge toward unseen future.
Command your freedom with utmost pride.
And dissolve into a cloudless inner sky.
