Limitless

“She’s Undecided”

They tell me I’ll find something eventually but what they don’t understand is that I’ve found too much

I’m not undecided but limitless

without a reason to turn down opportunity I’m living in the rivers of my mind

They’re running upstream every curve turning corners that I can’t explain

but need not justify in etched windows frosted over by

indecision

This box is not a check on a paper

I will not order off the menu if I am what I eat

I will swallow the universe!

So the world will be inside me, the knowledge of the ages

Sparking the corners of my imagination

I am limitless!

I’ll major in discovery

‘Cause I refuse to live in a future boxed and handed to me with a bow

No present is presented unless I carve it

From the wood I’ve grown myself, rooted

In my own history

How’d I’d love to go back to the day I was born

When it wasn’t a crime to ask of the world of it’s everything

When no knowledge is too mundane to learn because when you know nothing you want everything

And aren’t humans just a fetus in a world too Almighty to be comprehended by someone other

Than the Creator?

We simply work with tiny pictures

In a puzzle too complex for us to see the corners unless we climb

But we work away, creating our own reality and thriving in the fact that we will never know anything for certain

We are limitless

Unless you decide

To check a box.

But you can’t box opportunity - find what interests me? I’m interested in climbing

Until the tree limbs scrape the sky and I look down at the world

and know how small it is, almost fitting in the palm of my hand

In that vastness I am nothing.

I am limitless.
