rusted rails, a cage to keep others out
no second chances, a cost too great
alone in the elements, hardened by hurt
not the last turn
just a mistaken dead end sign
wonder yourself free, between the bars
look up, before you lies a light of awe
to melt your heart free.

Yes, we can. Protecting ourselves can leave us isolated. There are always different perspectives to any circumstance. Happy Sunday.

People often forget, barriers aren’t always to keep other’s in, but to keep something out.
