Darrell Rose Poet Free verse

Trapped In My Own Web

Caught up in the mediocracy of a life I no longer recognize…
I’m fighting to break free from this trap I’ve built for myself.

Even if I turned and walked away the man that I’d see walking… 
Would still be wearing the same wounded soul as the man standing here today. 

It’s hard to be satisfied when you watch as the days fly by…
Knowing I could do better than just living day to day. 

Yet I’ve spun a web that I call home though I often wonder… 
If I’m not the one trapped within it’s threads.

Have a wonderful day ! Darrell

It'll all work out:) Darrell Rose March 15, 2023 at 9:35 AM Hahahahaah. Thank you for the kind words and comment. Life is wonderful though I think we all at times have moments when we question ourselves. It is these moments that I often find new feelings and inspiration from which to write. Thanks again ! Darrell
