Broken Record

Everyday was like the same old song,
her life methodical all along,
feeling like a needle stuck in the groove,
she was too comfortable to get up and move,

Always dreaming of taking a few classes at college,
or get a different job somewhere else,
but the months and years would suddenly fly by,
and she'd put her dreams on hold on the shelf,

Her family would call and ask how everything was,
she'd exclaim the same I'm just a little bored,
oh how she wished she had the nerve to change,
instead of her life feeling and sounding like a broken record.

I can totally relate to this poem, Cheryl. We all need to try to make a life change that will be satisfying to us, instead of the same ole humdrum. I give this poem a top 7. Very well expressed. Love always to you.

All things work in circular motion, though no two orbits are ever exactly identical! I do miss the old records mind you! Static and all. I can't say I really understand boredom myself! Great write, Cheryl!
