A very good write and message about breaking down walls that hold you back and the possibilities of living life well and finding joy in whatever makes you happy. Heartfelt, uplifting and encouraging. Skillfully crafted free verse which I enjoy.

Flow/Rhythm:

Flow is good; line to line transition and breaks are done well. Very nice rhythm. Just a suggestion, a strategically placed comma at natural pauses will give emphasis to your thoughts as well as make the flow and rhythm even better in my opinion.

Tone:

Lovely depth of feeling. You express how one can change the direction in life, that each person has power that lies within if only they find the courage to take that first step from misery to the world of wonder that waits patiently for them.

Word Choice:

Word choice is good; nice use of repetition for emphasis of feeling. Nice alliteration, good assonance and consonance.

Overall:

Well penned and a much enjoyed read. Write on.
