“Barriers and Rivers”

Tears rushed like a river off the cliff briskly from one eye
As you saw the barrier 

Another formed in your mind, cluttered with numerous negativities and endless hope of escaping. This causes another tear to form swiftly out of your other eye.

Your thoughts rumble with more and more things that are barriers to your escape from the demise of your freedom and peace 

All you ever wanted to grace your spirit for a moment of tranquility in your heart, so the beats you hear in your chest can slow down and you wouldn’t have to hear the impending beats pound in your ear as you lie down.

You want your mind to escape the thoughts of hopelessness that maybe your peace won’t come at all. It is so hard to believe in this when one detrimental, whether tiny or big, thing happens then another comes along right after.

You want clarity in your spirit, you want happiness to be embedded in your heart, and you want ease and lack of unhappy thoughts to control your brain.

You just wish for the peace and freedom to be in a better place and have some of the things you hope for and some of the things you sacrificed

You just wonder when it will come as your patience tightens like the width of a pencil
