Window and Wall

You throw yourself at life
With abandon
Maybe you hit the wall
Again and again
Leaving a bit of yourself behind
Every time

But every time
You notice the window
The open space beyond it
The hopeful road
Leading somewhere promising

So you back up
Maybe a little further this time
To get a better run

Because some people might be aiming
For the window
But you?
You’re taking down the fucking wall
