Obstacle Illusion

I look up at the intimidating sight in front of me in anger. A frustration so deep, so bottled. I want to punch this obstacle, this enormous steel wall, but I refrain. At least I still have my wits about me...somewhat. How do I conquer this wall? I look to my left, the wall extends as far as the eye can see... and to my right, the same. No way around it. My eyes dart up and follow the wall till it disappears in the clouds. "I am not afraid of heights." I say to the wall...or myself. Doesn't matter, I will find a way up and over.
