Obstacles In Life

Obstacles In Life

A Poem by ROXANE DORSEY

There's an obstacle in everyone's way.
My obstacle is right dead in my face.
Facing me, why cans't I see that 
problem in front of me.

In my head became the sleuth on the
loose. How can I get over, under or
through?  I'm thinking, leave me lone.
I must figure out what to do.
Nothing's in my way except this small
hurdle I call my problem.

Since day one I should've resolved it
when the problem was wee bit.
Now my bit grew bigger, looks of it
sure to put up a fight and bite.....but
I won't give up on this thing called
Life.

I liked the journey leading to the proper ending.
"..but
I won't give up on this thing called
Life."

avoidance isn't a solution. can't just sweep things under the rug - must be dealt with sooner or later. a stitch in time, saves nine. you present something to be mulled over. must not give up - have faith!

Very well written and thought provoking.

"My obstacle is right dead in my face. Facing me..."

To me this means we find the root cause of most obstacles by looking in the mirror (which is also usually the source of the route around it).

thanks for the kind review and read of my poems
we all face trails and tribulations in our life time. It's up to how it gets handled determined the outcome of ones life. treat people the way you'd want to be treated, with respect or however you dish it, shall return the Karma.
