“The Glass Wall” Poem
November 9, 2017
My dreams are so close, so close that I can almost grab them
Grab them and live the happy life I desperately wish I could guarantee
Every time I think of moving towards them, I hit a glass wall
A wall called self-sabotage
I could easily push through but I let myself hit it
Only seeing my dreams through the glass, convincing myself that I’ll never reach them
I fall back down, having to be built up all over again
There are only so many times I can build myself up before I give up
I need reinforcements to keep me steady
But I have anxiety which makes me more susceptible to fall
I can’t help but overthink everything at 3:28 in the morning when I wake up from a nightmare
I know I have a few years before I need to make a final choice
And although that saves me from rushing into things, it leaves me with all this time where I could
Hit the glass wall, Hit the glass wall,
Hit
The
Glass
Wall.
Now it’s a few years later and I have to make a choice
That’ll make or break my existence
Can I push through the glass wall?
Can I leave my self-sabotaging behind?
Can I overcome my overthinking
And let myself live the life I dream of living
Where I don’t have to fall down and rebuild myself every few weeks
Where I don’t have to rely on the reinforcements called people who hold my hand and keep me steady
I need to learn how to stand up and let myself grab my dreams
