Go ahead you pessimistic Scrooge,
Keep reminding me what is Impossible.
Enlighten me with things you believe me to be incapable of doing,
Place your Binds and Gags upon me.
I am heartened that you are privy to the bounds of my potential,
Fill me with more of your poison.
How dare you with that frustrated grin,
Place Limitations on anyone.
Quite alright, put some more fuel on the fire,
It's getting to be quite cozy in here.

The inspiration for this piece came from a frustration with people in my life that placed limits on me. Sometimes people think they know more about someone than the actual person does them self. This simply isn't true. Keep your head up, you control what your own destiny.
