I am a well. <br />Confined by a wall; <br />Restricted by a boundary; <br />Stagnated by it all. <br /> <br />I desire to be a river; <br />I desire to flow; <br />I desire to merge <br />With waters diverse. <br /> <br />My wall is a block. <br />A societal construct; <br />A self-imposed isolation; <br />A resultant stagnation. <br /> <br />I desire to break this wall <br />Brick….by…Brick; <br />I desire to flow <br />Merge…Blend…Mix. <br /> <br /> <br />3rd September 2006<br /><br />asma bahrainwala<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/desire-6/
