Ahead

Keep going...

I wish I could take it back

What I said

The imprint left

On my mind

Was too deep to fix

The hope that something would figure itself out

If I gave

Myself time

The world moved faster

As I struggled to keep up

Running as fast as my legs could work

Step, step, step

Until you see the finish line

But I never made it

Recurring images speed through my mind

Freezing space and time

And what is inside of it

Only I can break free

If my mind allows it

A barrier of sorts

That one must cross

Alone.

No outside help

The problem rests within you

Waiting to escape

I reach for the end

My mind

My arm

My hand

Myself

But the end continues to move along

As I do too

With it

This piece represents what it can feel to be trapped in your own mind. Your goals seem out of reach because your mind is a barrier, preventing you from considering the possibilities. The only way to move along with your goals, is to look ahead at all times. You may face setbacks or obstacles in you way, but it is important to stay resilient.
