Obstacles

A Poem by poeticsafari

How things can change are as quick as the blink of an eye

Every pain staking obstacle comes with a price, every obstruction must be observed; conquered as fast as it came, and every hindrance plays its part to making you who you are. Standing alone you are but nothing only powerless to the will of the game of fate. I realized this at a very young age it’s never too late to ask for help, no matter how much you feel that it takes away from your independence or your freedom. Requesting help is not a weakness but in fact reflects the fact that you are still human even a humble strength reinforcing your sanity. My story is where most people start off one of the “willful ones, the strong and triumphant” never letting anyone else inside. Things got worse as I grew up in the twisted turning world I like to call adulterants, but through many trials, assessments, and test I overcame everything that stood in my path. Until one day when my life blossomed, soared, and ultimately awakened through the will of one particular person. Everything that I had known faded quickly crashing through my wall of ignorance and blatant stupidity, I was no longer alone in the world there was another much like me. She came out of nowhere that one day and changed me holistically making me see the error in myself. Not letting anyone in, in my mindset was helping actually toughening me or so I thought until she smiled at me for the first time, and without even being aware of what was happening my life began to spew out of my tongue more rapidly than I could have ever thought possible, no longer was I alone I was needless to say intoxicated. Placing my pen to my paper with little thought letting all the words and feelings about her be the guide, writing far in the morning and far into the night I begin to see how every piece, every line, and even every word sounded better than before, never understanding until much later that it was always that one instant where then on I could express what needed to be said with the simplest of ease, finally anything seemed possible the sky the limit. Soon the words grew in numbers as I sat behind my lightly flickering laptop, my fingers sweeping across the keys making music as they progressed, further and further into the night I continued. Transported to a world of my own creation; smiling with delight to finally elude those misconceptions behind those rigid keys.  Finally set onto the right path deriving my true calling from that one instant so very long ago.
