Unsuspected Visitor
Surging against the barrier
escaping into what it believed to be
a means of escape
when, in reality, it would never reach
the other side.
There was no way across
through, under, around
no turning point
no unsolid ground.
That wall was thick
there was no way
Yet slowly, the tables began to turn.
One day, there began to be a way.
What she thought to be herself
wasn't her at all.
People aren't static
we can redefine ourselves
And so she did.
Shifted the tectonic plates
that had been supports.
Then the wall began to crumble.
One day it simply was no more.
There she was
Left atop her heart
Wind rushing through her hair
With the world rushing in
to what used to be blocked off.
Only they didn't know
Because they really hadn't moved.
She was rushing out towards them.
