Approach

Sledge hammers breaking
Through the invisible walls
Holding me hostage

Chip away the pain
Moving toward releasing
The bricks and mortar

Where is my power?
My strength is dissipating
My resolve so weak

Needing to move on
Two heavy feet are throbbing
My balance is off

Summoning courage
I swing wildly back and forth
Expecting a change
