UNKNOWN OBSTRUCTION
Your fortitude
In the face of adversity
Outshines me.
Still and all,
It’s a long way to Tipperary.
Just put one foot in front
Of the other, as you would say.
Mental illness and failure keep one young.
Fail again, fail better.
Terrifying for some.
The edge of a sharp sword is dulled by a beautiful aspect.
And sometimes a little bit is all you need.
This all sounds like some sort of popular heresy.
But there needs to be some degree of equivalence.
“Tit for tat.” “Tit for what?”
What for tit? Without which nothing.
Who thought they were digging
To profound depths.
We’ll arrive eventually,
Maybe even in China.
It just needs one more stone, but I can’t find it.
And I’m talking about a wall, not a ring.
