Stranded
One of the worst feelings
Is when you feel stranded
When things out of your control
Come at you heavy handed
With no sign of slowing down
Your tools not equipped for the job
No breakthrough or progress
Only dealing with the cost
Stranded does not always mean
That you are stuck where you are
You can be stranded inside
Dealing with your demons at large
Therefore creating a problem
Resulting being stranded both ways
Inside unable to make a decision
Outside your stuck in your place
Now helpless you really feel
Feeling stranded and isolated
Alone battling an unseen force
Stranded was the result it created
Not knowing how the get unstuck
As if all you are is spinning circles
Like you have forgotten to run
Or attempt to jump the hurdle
That lay in front of your path
Your intimidated and stranded
Don't let it beat you down
Stranded to where you can't stand it
Please keep your two feet moving
Only in a forward direction
Put you in charge of yourself
And learn from your stranded lesson
