Obstacles

Wide-mouthed your speech

Subtle doubts in your mind

Honorable mentions for your ideas

Spreading butter on your bread

Slipping on your silk robe

Turning the kettle on your stove

Burden of your shackled feet

Dampened cloth between your legs

Fist clenched on your hammer’s handle

Border control asks for your papers

Eye of the storm guides your fears

Feeling safe under your covers

Anthropological studies on your desk

Ballroom dancing for your pleasure

Existing in your secluded fourth dimension

Release your constructed barriers

Falsify your historical records

Give birth to your undeveloped theories

Ravens remove your eyes

End of time has the ultimate grip on your clock

Pleasantries don’t expand your necessitates

Feeling the pinching of your cheek

Giving up on your forever dreams

Finding destiny was never in your control

Drowning under your accumulated debt

Losing all your investments

Paying for your delivery fees

Sheriff on the tail of your chaotic driving

Ambassador of love bruising your heart

Drought won’t save your tears

Doctors refuse your resuscitation

Parasites feeding on your freedom

Supper plate shattered at your knees

Obstruction of your innocence 

Sale of your childhood

Burying your last emotional turmoil

Midnight mass apologies for your felonies

Mystery disease enslaving your brain

Past decisions preventing your escape

Highest bidder buys your art

Wolves feed on your compassion

Memories complete your self-destruction
