get out of your own way

prompt: no obstacles

task: three min timed writing. do it. go. then read on…

no obstacles

stop it

step out my way

you, i’m talking to you.

ego.

you there.

too many times you’ve stepped in front of me deflecting me, boxing me out, punching me in my best eye as i attempt to execute the game plan i envision for my future life.

you beat me down.

you tackle me bloody and sweat stained to the ground.

you pierce me with wound inflicting words and untrue thoughts.

YOU are the IMPOSTER.

not me.

no more.

fresh page.

here we go.

i’m not going to rush into this new chapter. i’m taking the deep breaths. i stand in the jungle of this new virgin rain forest of purity bathing in the quiet peace which comes from me getting out of my own damn way.

why is it so easy to see the difficulties we create for ourselves?

why is it so hard to live out the solution even when we know how easy it is to save our own selves from the madness within?

destination set.

peace and progress on the path to personal growth and acceptance. no more dead zones.

be free of your own constraints.

now go.

do the things.

no fear.

fly, little bird.

About alice 11

an untamed woman pressed between the pages of an erotic novel. she reads the proverbs while clutching her rosary. salted sage burns down the paper house around her. now she sings as she flies to soar with icarus himself.

read at your own risk…
