Blockage and Barriers

Invisibly acquired barriers

Absorbed and self imposed.

Confined

clouded

caged

Mine of which to dispose

“There is no clarity here” She says.

Begging me to hear.

“Break free” she screams.

This is your own battle cry.

Not hearing is the only fear.

A sliver of light.

Shown through of break.

A fracture of veil.

A life for life’s sake.

“Live” she says.

Pry the opening further.

Stretch your limbs out.

Take your hearts rhythm forward.

Scale the old, the forgotten.

The untamed.

Return to your power

A stance made in your name.

Reconfigure your mind

Back to nature. Unwind.

The stories, caged boxes.

Yours to remind.

To remember the power in choice.

In creativity we find our voice.

With boxes and books in hand.

We redesign the land on which we stand.

This is the sovereignty

You were born with.

This is your life.

To move forward with.
