Life's Like That

Life is slowly pinning me down, 
sharp shards of attachment attack by mobility.
Treadmill of  progression that strengthens me to stay. 
as my legs stagnate my mind grows. 
I guess I could move forward,
towards, 
ahead,
but I am not ready to leave it all behind. 
You’ve clipped my wings; the circumstance of you has pulled me unwarily from the sky. 
Into you lap of comfort, where I remain uncomforted.
