Invisible Border

This is about a person that constantly tries to intimedate me by dividing everyone into two sides-his side and everyone else. I used to be on his side, but then I "switched" sides.

I was never told I couldn't

There are no written rules

Nor any spoken

Yet we must remain divided

You on one side

And me on the other

Why was this invisible line drawn

A replica of the Great Wall of China

Neither of us was meant to cross

But what is the point

Why do this to me

Can't I live on both lands

My house lies inbetween

Yet you made me choose

One side or the other

Couldn't have both

As was my hope

I didn't listen to you

Ignored your silent threats

Crossed the border anyway

A thousand times over

You did nothing

Until suddenly now

Why does it matter

I have made my choice

You know the land I own

It's a decision you provoked

And now we both must live with it

Divided loyalties cannot exist

You wanted it this way

Back when I was still loyal to you

Yet I have learned

I have moved on

Stay away from me

And all will be resolved

If you plan on hopping your wall

You may as well tear it down

You're the one who put it up

We all want it to fall

i like this poem's straightforward narration

[Wolfwind]

This piece hits close to home. Not an easy place to find oneself on either side of that wall. Very well written.

With time and experience we gain confident and find our own thoughts and path. I like how the person in the poem change her view and wanted to be free of the old ideals. A strong ending to a outstanding poem.
