Barriers to Progress
July 28, 2017
What holds me back from
Overcoming the claws of
The terrible fear
Why do I allow
Myself to be held captive
By lies, deception
Power of negative
Thinking, darkness, skewed judgment
And knowing the pain
Cons far outweigh pros
Yet breaking free seems beyond
My grasp; out of reach
Is it because I've
Lived with this for many years
A habit ingrained
Etched into my soul
Need my memory wiped clean
Start fresh on clean slate
I'm not a robot
Or computer; I'm alive
Human to the core
Denver gave me a
Reboot; a kick in the pants
Helped me get back up
It's one thing to stand
Greater challenge is moving
In new direction
Barriers include
Self-doubt, lack of confidence
And poor track record
Tendency to run
On autopilot- my acts
Need more careful thought
Apply mindfulness
More cognizance of behavior
Contemplate options
