Being Under Lifes Pressure

07-06-2023 I can’t catch Up with people who are always on the move I watch Them pass me by though I don’t approve The gap I see between us I accelerate But still I lag behind At a rate which makes me late I try to ignore what’s on my mind And my pace But being human and seeing what I see along the way I can’t face Being in the same position each day Of my life even when I change gears I know the road ahead is full of potholes and it’s narrow Whatever I do nothing clears Up and this forces me to be afraid of tomorrow Like anyone who likes finer things in life I just want what’s rightfully mine by the time I thrive

Life can certainly be challenging, Itumeleng, your poem shows the frustration of having to wait for your blessings. Be strong, your needs will be met, my friend. A poet friend in Texas, Bill
