Lifes Rut

Deja Vu we're here again This well worn path we tread It's the one that moves in circles Why can't we go in squares instead? We cover ground we've trod before But never really move We find it hard to alter course So we slot back in our groove. We know this path so off by heart We could do it in our sleep One foot in front the other Going round and round we keep It's hard to climb out of our rut Looking for escape we sigh We wish that we could sprout some wings From this cycle we would fly So here we are now barely moving And stagnant we will stay When all the while a different path Was just a step away.
