HIT THE BRICK WALL RUNNING
A barrier ‘tween my needs and me
A brick wall across the lane
Source of my frustration
Cause of all my pain
(Chorus) Hit the brick wall running
Might just make it through
Hit the brick wall running
Nothing else that I can do
Every day it gets a little harder
Worse and worse it seems
My body failing, broken
I see the death of all my dreams
No way back no way around
Blocked at every turn
I can’t even stand still now
Lest my feet should burn
(repeat chorus)
There could be danger past it
Suffering on either side
But at least I would feel better
To know at last I tried
Friends and family try and change me
They don’t see the appeal
They just can’t see that it might be
The only way for me to heal
(repeat chorus)
I’m pulled this way and that
Torture through and through
I don’t think I can take it
But I don’t know what to do
The end I fear is coming soon
I risk my sanity
Need an answer to my question
A way I can be free
But for now I must continue
Struggle on day by day
Just to have to hold on tight
And to the Lord I pray
(repeat chorus)

This is an Amazing Poem!
It sounds like it should be a hit rock song or old Irish or something. The thing is that it's for us TGers; we know the struggles, the desires and the need to heal. OTOH, maybe the song is more universal, other groups might also see themselves in it.
Amazing and Brilliant. Great work.
