I've mistaken
words for cliffs
Obstacles abound
Climbing above,
going around.
The view isn't
from the top-down
I'm on the ground.
The sentence "I've mistaken these words for cliffs" arrived in my mind seemingly without any context once. I felt an urge to write it down, and when I did I realized I could write about obstacles, specifically obstacles in the form of disapproving words from others and ourselves.
