Hit the Wall

There's always an obstacle. And sometimes it's a huge wall you must pass.

I.

In this life,

it’s easy to hit the wall

that blocks your path.

II.

It’s easy to sit down,

become complacent 

and live a life, unfulfilled. 

III.

But for the few, 

that wall does not 

thwart their call. 

IV.

They climb over

and keep going

brushing off this failure.

V.

And it’s these folks,

in pursuit of dreams

that  a world awaits.

VI.

The choice is there;

hit the wall

and fall down

VII.

 Or you can

hit the wall

and keep going.
