Itumeleng Cangua Poet Rhyme

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

Bill Baker September 14, 2023 at 4:03 PM 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.
