Our minds may try to reach the summit
of our goals.
However, our bodies can only steer
us a small way as we dragging
the chains of our past.
Yet we still try to move on.
Along this road blocked by those
wailing in things they can't change.
And that adds another chain
like weight being put on a dumbbell.
Illuminating us with envy
of what they have done.
Mitigating the thread that connects us.
