we the willing, lead by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. we have done so much for so long with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.

Limits control me.
My writing can't come to my full potential,
because of my spelling limits.

My first kiss was short
because of my limits.
Too scared to go on.

My limits
protect me
from yelling and cursing
during my softball games,
worst team in the league,
with two of the best players.


My limits
keep me from
running away from
everything.

And running
is the only thing
I wish my limits
Didn't control.

I found this because I searched "softball", because I am about to submit a poem, and I wanted to see if there was anything like it already on here.

Anyways, I like "Limits". Good job :)
