Barriers

Barriers



Lovable, joyful, tremendous engagement 
shadowed by trainers, running faster and faster
trying to catch up
trying to slow it down
As I run in circles to tire them down

Measurable, hopeful, life vendors selling empty dreams
standing in the sun, every last damn machine
trying to stop us
trying to make us believe
As I run through them.
	This is my life
	     I Lead
