The Wall

You know it's there. Looming.

Times in your life you gravitate towards it... you charge at it, you are desperate to just climb over and jump off the top.

But it's terrible. It's terrifying.

You have to wonder if what's on the other side is better.

In your own hands, in your own charge, the need to break through and continue on the other side is overwhelming.

But what do you do when you are forced away from the wall? And you are left wandering. And then, when you make your next turn in the open, you find yourself surrounded by the wall?

What do you do when you can't find an opening through? When it's no longer just something horizontal and vertical? Eternal on the horizon?

When happens when it tries to embrace you until the only place you can go is up?

And it's out of your control?
