Limits

I'm limitless 
I can say this because the possibilities are infinite
But whoever said you can be anything you want 
Is a liar 
The truth is 
You can become anything you work for 
Strive for, dedicate your blood, sweat and time for 
The only limit is where you see the top 
I believe trees are living testimonies to the idea of limits 
They grow reaching towards the heavens 
While staying grounded knowing where their roots lay 
If trees were people they would walk confidently 
Never fearing to trip on a show lace 
When confronted with the world at my feet 
The highest point I can imagine at my head 
I think a little higher 
I smile a little brighter 
Because the possibilities are endless
I'm limitless

Poet Destroyer A August 3, 2015 at 12:29 AM Hi Joshua, I have a question for you, after reading your comment on the bottom. How did you stumble upon this site? I love how you join this site, entering a contest, it took me 2 years before I even considered a contest. I never felt good enough. My talent is small. Anyways, your poem above is perfect for this contest. I especially love how you end the poem, All possibilities have no end. By, the way I definitely see you smiling brighter. HUGS.. LINDA Joshua Beverly August 3, 2015 at 12:37 AM Hey Linda, I found the site because I was looking for a writers club or poetry group in my area where I can improve on my writing, after going through different sites I saw this and I stayed. It's great to have another friend! I hope to see your work as well! Thank you for the love you showed my poem *hugs back
