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.
