Stuck

Stuck It’s a mistake to belly-ache To rue wrongs done To linger and shake To blame someone You didn’t use the power That we all own That strength of tower Move on don’t moan Easier to sit on the nail Wriggle and squirm Accuse when we fail While failing to learn Knowing there’s no change While standing still Not expanding our range Climbing that hill Take a walk and look back Your freedom is nigh Change the track Wave pain goodbye.

Sometimes it is easy to move on and get going on the right track and sometimes almost impossible to get to that track. I enjoyed reading this one. Thanks for the visit to my page. I appreciate you taking the time to read and comment on my work. Sara
