Kerplunk

Sometimes we get stuck in place And all the dreams we used to chase Have vanished, so it’s time to face The fact our world has shrunken. The plans and goals we’d once embrace Have left without a single trace And looking forward, we must brace For hopes, once high, now sunken. However, there’s a saving grace – We simply have to slow our pace As lofty futures we erase, Not letting any funk in.

I've been enjoying your tail-rhyme scheme this week... an apt depiction of mid-life crisis, but with a hopeful solution in stanza three - very nicely stated!
