Unable to Be Contained

poetboy123

Endless restlessness quakes in my every step as I continue 

Trapped in this cycle of seemingly meaningless activities holding me back

With its formalities and teaching, stopping me from reaching the dream I pursue

I understand the value of growing strong roots, yet there's something I still lack

That knowledge doesn't rip away this feeling of ambition in my core

I wish to burst free from the soil as a hearty tree with broad branches and loose leaves

A soldier kept in training, while others die in war

Knowing the value of these early days cannot soothe nor end the beating of this grieving heart

I wish to burst free from these years of eternal solitude and preparation all building up to the moment I dream of

Like a flame growing unruly, I climb the tree stalks, seeking the truth that lies above

    Very good write, climb that tree your life is ahead of you.

    Definitely two branches of the same tree my friend.

    This is a very good. I love the image of the tree. I feel as though you are where I once was... I'm a "veteran" of a similar battle.
