Self Built

Obstruction

By Katrina ThornleyPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

There was a wall ahead

Seen only by one,

A self fulfilling structure

Set forth by building blocks

Created in the mind,

A sure halt to leaps

An end to progress,

Despite warnings

Of upcoming events

That we fabricated ourselves

And set in motion

Under the stars,

To block the sun’s rays

From promoting a growth

That terrified and thrilled

All that were near.
