Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find her way by moonlight, and her punishment is that she sees the dawn before the rest of the world.


People are afraid
afraid to cross the line
break the wall
and ignore the warnings

the curious and the brave know that the solid wall
is really just a picket fence that anyone  can jump over
and ignore the warning signs

And curiosity did not actually kill the cat
it made it wander off
and curiosity fed it with more knowledge
And made the cat climb a mountain just to see how big the world was

Many believe that it is still safer to stay confined to an area
Like their own little safety circle
but the rest of the people know
that the world can not fit in one circle
and does not open up for just anyone

people set humongous goals to seem daring
but the world is very big
and that would mean carrying alot on your shoulders
but if you break apart everything
And add one piece at a time
you get used to the load and soon you will be strong enough to carry all of it at once

later you may find that
breaking that wall
was the best thing you ever did

Don’t limit your challenges
challenge your limits

This was so inspiring! I loved your last two lines, Don't limit your challenges challenge your limits. One of the best poems I've seen on teen ink.
