Limits

Within me there is greatness
held back by popular opinion
limitations have been formed to bury me
This life is full so scorn
so much waiting and wishing
decisions are not my own
Chains have been placed upon me
placing blinders upon eyes
the complete picture is not clear
Dreams are present
reality feels like bonds
truth has imprisoned me
while lies have hid the key
Eternal struggles lived
each day they become anew
it leaves one to wonder
how low is low
