Breaking Through With TNT 

I walked towards the wall,

Finding no way around.

Looked and saw no way over.

Turned to go back, hit by a rock

Blocking my retreat from now!

Stay in the past with my regrets

or push on forward to the future.

The present is a fleeting illusion

Where I try to plan my life.

All seemed lost I stood in defeated

Felt the rock moving.

With only minutes to spare

I jumped onto the rock,

riding it forward into the wall.

Leaving little of the present in-between

The rock and wall soon seemed to merge.

Regrets and worries from the past

anxiety and fear of the future

worked together as I lost thoughts

of my present days.

I need time, I need to think,

to break the cycle and not repeat.

I need a breakthrough in my life.

That must blow a space in between

where I am and where I want to go.

All I need is time and thought

To make my dreams come true.

A big box of TNT should do!
