Living In Purgatory

Include the date 30/01/2022, contest name, 2022 Poetry Marathon Mile 26 Poetry Contest. Living in Purgatory What do you do when you've had enough You Can't end it all But you no longer want to continue Because you cant move forward The pasts grip is holding you back But it wants to drag you back to the pain and misery But you stand strong Eager to get going Eager to move on But You're stuck Being held in purgatory See you're Alive but you're not Living Stuck in stagnation Becoming Stagnant stood still Feet are firmly rooted to the ground But while life still runs through you Blood pumping through your veins Air inflates and deflates your lungs, Heart heartedly thumping Strong thump, thump, thump, Eyes blinking blink blink In sync with one another A statue stuck in the present Trying to run from the past To map out a future But here I remain stuck Between times tenses Whose pull will win The past the present or the future Or will I remain here In the present Stagnant Stuck Living my life in purgatory.
