The Sky Is the Limit

With open arms, I enter this space
A chance to explore, to discover my place
To wander down a path of words and rhyme
To unlock my soul and let my thoughts climb

The sky, they say, is the limit we seek
But often it feels we're at a losing streak
Our goals so high, our failures so near
We stumble and fall, overcome with fear

But in this space, I feel a different air
A spirit of hope, a sense of dare
To rise above, to reach for the sky
To believe in ourselves, to give it a try

I take my seat, and turn up my heat
Ready to dive into this poetic street
With pen in hand, I let my words flow
A journey of discovery, a chance to grow

And as I write, I find something sweet
A sense of purpose, a reason to beat
The struggles that come, the doubts that arise
To reach for the sky, to aim for the prize

So here I am, on this first visit
Ready to embrace, to never quit
For in this space, I have found
A way to break free, to become unbound

And as I leave this poetry street
I carry with me a new, uplifting beat
A spirit that soars, a heart full of fire
Ready to face the world, to climb ever higher

For though the sky may seem far away
With courage and faith, we can seize the day
And so I leave, with a renewed spirit
Ready to take on whatever comes, and never fear it.
