The Edge of Growth

A wall I built with careful hands,

Of comfort, fear, and safe demands. 

But whispers call from past its height, 

A world beyond, bathed in light.

Each stone I lift, each step I take, 

The cracks reveal the change at stake.

 New skills, new dreams, a widened view, 

A path unknown, yet bright and true.

So here I stand, no chains, no ties, 

With open hands and seeking eyes. 

For growth begins where fear once reigned, 

Beyond the self, where life is gained.
