That One Thin Line

This poem will only make sense to someone else who has wanted to cross a line they have set for themselves but are unwilling to do it...it becomes bigger than anything you have ever faced before...just one thin line between you and......


I try so hard never to cross the line
And I find myself living behind that line
Cramped and inhibited
Held back by one fine line
Unable to move forward
Unwilling to go back
The line taunting me with its nearness
And my determination never to cross it
I gaze into the distance
Dreaming of what might be
Just over there
Across the line
The line I dare not cross
Because someone once told me
There some lines you must never cross
And somehow this line became the one
And I cannot cross over it
Do you understand my dilemma
Knowing there is something I must never do
And wanting with all my heart to do it
Just take a step
One little step over that line
To see what lies beyond

Good poem...I can feel it.
And no...I won't be leaving. I plan on staying here at the Den among great writers.

we can all identify with this and each of us has to decide in each situation whether the line should stay

If it doesn't hurt another person or break the law and it doesn't violate your personal morality, move the line. Nice write.

Depends if the line is for good or bad. If it's for good GO FOR IT, if bad, FLEE FROM IT..

i know this poem is kinda ambivilent...which is what i was thinking of when writing it...about how we make a decision never to do something and then it suddenly becomes more appealing. i don't believe in crossing lines i've drawn myself, i must have had a reason for it to start with so i usually stand by them, but damn, the temptation!!

I guess it depends on whether it's a good or bad line.
If it's a good one, go for it.

Very good poem. I do believe there are destructive lines we should never cross. We don't know what your line is. Only you know that, and only you can decide.

sometimes we just have to take that chance and hopefully find it worthwhile ...

Excellent sharing of thought. Crossing that line can be a big mistake and sometimes it can be a great beginning depending on what the line is all about.

That one thin line can represent so many things Sue! I know people divorced , addicts, alcoholics,and so many other examples of those who have a line they can't cross that becomes uppermost in the mind,just for that reason. It isn't easy...Excellent write!

Behind the Gates: Behind the Gates: A 1990s Hollywood Romantic Suspens by Lisa Maliga

The higher you go into the hills, the deeper the secrets... A seemingly innocent piece of mail shatters the illusion of Beverly Hills luxury, forcing a terrifying statement from a powerful action movie mogul: "they can't kill us fast enough."
