A Trapped Soul

Beyond the horizon, past the bars

A prison. What is it?  It's something you are put in by society when you do something wrong.  But today's post isn't about that prison.  It is about the prison that you make for yourself.  The prison where it isn't you versus society, but you against YOURSELF.  A figurative take on the topic, discussing why we put ourselves behind these barriers that restrain us.  We are so afraid of escaping our so-called comfort zone that we allow these restrictions to bound us, despite not needing to do so.  Protecting oneself is good, in fact, it is encouraged by evolution, but to shield yourself from the outer world can impede upon your goals and stop you from taking the ventures that you really want to explore.  You might think of the world as a cruel, harsh place; a place you are not comfortable stepping into (especially considering you'd have to let go of your safety blanket).  But if you never break free, then how will you ever realize what life is about?  Fear is undoubtedly genuine, but it just makes you hide yourself.  You just have to break those barriers around you and soar yourself high in the skies.  Leave every hesitation behind and break free from the bounded chains which do nothing but hold you back.  The world is yours to take, only if you have what it takes to fly away.
