One Place To Go
Paper Poetry Prompt #6 — Obstacles or Fences
Scenes of overcoming obstacles seen through spindles of lessons spun out recurring dreams a walk into a room stuffed with millions of questions bombards the mind — the louder the doubt the TALLER the fence? — An intimidating new fence teasing the senses sun blocking the unknown.
Feel unease uncertainty can I go back to comfy slippers and socks? The sneaky tucked away questions begin to peak — They see weak.
Think around false reflection embrace the storm — clench as the cold bites your face so hard it makes you cry you want to turn to the side walk backwards to comfortable anywhere, but here — the embarass-ring of trying and failing towards stagnation but you’ve been there before maybe some, not so uncertain after all and the Universe speaks you — are — right — back — here same fence sparkling and striking nerves all questions — gone tears dry you are not doomed you push yourself to the limit you conquer the obstacle finally barrel straight into it tearing the fence down breaking bones, getting dirty healing as you learn — growing without boundaries.
Now you are tall unlike the defeated fence splintered scattered wood you have harder skin once again, safe adorning new comfy slippers and socks well-earned change but only for a day Where will you go?
Triumph infinite endings let them steal the show — Obstacles are opportunities Fences are for focus Focus on opportunity — Watch where you will go.
Growth is inevitable, as are obstacles — grow up or go down.
