Are bars known to bend?
Do they bend for the ones with strength?
Or the ones with will power?
How does one conquer something so solid?
What if they arent solid.
What if these bars are a barrier, of a different sort.
Bars? Bars, the barrier customised to the individual problems of each being.
Bars that allow you to sprint from every corner of the Earth, yet, you can't move.
Ableing you to do as you wish.
Though you can do nothing.
Have you guessed what these bars are?
They are only physically in your way if you let them be.
They don't take your freedom, unless you get caught.
They stay in one place, untouched, unmoved.
Still.
Still with power, they don't have to move.
Because they sit in your mind as a mental barrier.
A mental reminder of your problems and what you connot run away from.
Unless you break them.
You cannot go around because the are never ending.
I suppose you could go under them, that is only for a while.
As you pas one set another appears, and another and another.
Untill you are weaker then before.
There is only one way out.
Conquer.
Not divide.
Dividing is jumping of the ledge of sanity you so desperatly grasped onto for so long.
When you hit the ground the ones in your head split ito spirit with your soul.
The bars are heavy, heavy with the truth.
They will drag you down into a place where those bars multipy and change.
Or.
You can conquer.
Strengthen yourself with physical and mental strength.
Arm yourself with the three weapons of,
determination.
Motivation.
Desperatness, and the one neglected weapon, often refused.
Help.
Help defuses the fear.
You are armed, with Earths weapons for success.
The desicion is up to you.

Dont you see, everyone has bars, but it's how we deal with them that
makes you.
Don't let yourself become the victom when you have a gun in your hand.
What will you do?
