Limit

Mental and physical
Questioning is quizzical
Protecting the strong
From pursuing wrong
Giving pause
A contractual clause
Pushing back
Go to the racetrack
Binding life
Cutting like a knife
To push through
That is what we do
Exceed and excel
Like a rebel

Limit was part of a free form writing session where I tried to empty my thoughts and focus on stream of consciousness writing. I like the line “Questioning is quizzical” because I think it speaks to speaking aloud the things that don’t make any sense, but society tends to ignore. I also like the lines “Exceed and excel, like a rebel” because they speak to deviating from the norm, excelling, reaching, learning, doing, and changing. It’s a mundane yet fulfilling way to rebel against a lazy society.
