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
