Stand Still
Neither moving ahead nor going back
My life has stopped just where it's at.
How can I make the first steps to start?
What do I do with this unsure heart?
Ready to make a new life today,
Now that the old one has gone away.
I need a push or a pull it seems,
If I am to fulfill all of my dreams.
At a stand still, I'm rooted to this spot.
Ready to forge ahead, but I'm not.
Afraid of the future, haunted by the past,
I must move past this feeling, at last.
Where will it come from, who will it be,
The person who can motivate me.
I've only to look into the mirror to see
The person who must do it is me.
