Stuck

There are dreams yet to be reached
There are plans not yet accomplished
There are reasons that you cannot prove
So why put-on something that you once shove

To begin is the hardest they say
But have you been stuck in the middle of the day?
Nowhere to go, you can never get back
Caught in a quicksand, you seemed no luck

From where you stand you can see the end
Like you know the whole story, but pretend
Holding back, you don’t want to step up
Because you knew getting there you have you give up

There are pieces of you that will remain
The moment you start to move and gain
But there are pieces of you, you need to sacrifice
And sometimes it’s not enough winning the price

A problem after another, after another
You will just get used to it
Life is an unending battle, just live with it
And if you think you’ve reached the top
Think twice; because struggles just paused-it never stops
