Behind

If I keep pushing harder,

Reaching higher,

Doing more,

Will I someday walk through

That damn door

That I envision,

That I can touch in my mind,

That I can watch swing open

As my hands wrap around

That lofty ambition

Which today still feels

So far out of reach

And hidden…

Behind

Years of our

Collective temptation, mistakes, & deceit.
