On the road

I'm on the road to success And lately, I've been stuck in traffic Long lines that never seem to move It's been ages and I've barely moved For it has been one turn after the other And the turn that I'm on Is so long that it has me slowing down So slow that it feels like I'm coming to a halt All that pacing only to get here And have to wait till I make the crossing Something that I'd easily cruised through Now it seems like it's taking forever I'm on the road to success And lately, the path has become dark It's like the light at the end keeps moving Cause I'm moving but ain't getting near For I'm sure I've been moving forward But at this point, it feels like I'm crawling back Feeling like I'm crawling back to my comfort zone The slow lane where nothing happens Maybe I'll park my car by the side of the road And I'll close my eyes for a bit And rest while I can Cause honking won't move me up the traffic The PO£T
