Barbed wire
Charged links walling me in
No travel
I cannot leave
It can't be helped
My pilgrimage has met it's match
At this unmovable obstacle
I and my friends
Alone in our thoughts
together
No departure
How does it feel to want?
Hard
My pilgrimage is incomplete
With this obstacle in place

The author's comments:
Sometimes I just feel stuck in a hard place, whether it be the ever-frustrating writer's block, or an actual problem.
But there's always a way past it. Just got to stare it down and look for the way out.
