Being acutely analyzed
By a microscope of public opinion
Inspection so minutely discerning
That you tip toe

Thin line of variation
Straight line of apprehension
Spirit wavering to be a free again
In bare feet dancing

Strict rules of accepted norms
Minds tied to strict conformity
Do not walk on the grass
To feel Natures power underneath you

A terrain so wildly inhibited
Only in your own limitations
To traverse the obstacles
Of the ultimate wilderness

No road map for this journey
Your imagination is your guide
The explosive strength inside you builds
Releasing the exhilarating challenge


Dissecting every minute detail
You free float in an open environment
The law of the land of survival ability
In everything around, there is a question
The answer lying, just over the next hill

In a campfire of a billion stars
Your loved one bonds together
In a new found closeness
For this universe will never be closed minded

The quest here is to find the self analysis
That builds the confidence of a natural smile
In a heart now mellow with the juices of life
Releasing built up cholesterol of frustrations

In the final conclusion
You find out what really matters in life
Is finding your own brilliance
Within your self reflection of confidence
Sharing the beauty with your loved one

Ok in my opinion this is a kick-ass poem with some very powerful lines and observations....keep up the good work and never let the converters convert you!

Kudos.  This sounds like an epiphany had on a camping trip with a loved one...  Wonderful realizations cited.
