Stuck in a rut? Punch it right in the gut

  For if you stay put, in that rut you will rot...

With Napoleon and King Tut
   History's stuck in a rut
We're still not sure how they died

Now with DNA samples
   Technology so ample
My only question is Why?...

If you're ever in need of a pick-me-up
Got just the thing to fill your giggle cup
Silliness abounds
From this silly old clown
Drop in to see me if you're stuck in a rut...

If ever you are stuck in a rut
Don’t know what to do to get out
Breathe through your nose and your gut
Then you must only shout
Be strong in the scream
Forceful I’d say
Live your dream
Today

Naughtiness seems to be the name of the game
Writing serious stuff no longer earns me fame
Seems I'm stuck in a rut
Must write about smut
So my BOTTOM line is, I can't be to blame

Your sorry for what you did
Your trying, understanding at times
your clean and tidy
your strong minded
your nice
your kind
your sad
your lost and confused
your embarrassing at times
your stuck in a rut
your a lost soul
your wrong
your right
your confused
your different
your you....

i want to write a poem about something but i just dont know what
it could be about being stuck in a rut 
possibly in a hut
and eating only nuts

but

that story would be boring
so id have to give that warning

instead my heart should be pouring
with thoughts that are very warming...

Burned out and stressed out.
Cant please you All.

What about me and how I feel?  What about my health both mental and physical?
Im stuck in the middle and stuck in a rut.

Why dont you stop calling and interferring?
I cant please you All

Burned out and stressed out.

From now on im gonna say NO....

You are just not, concerned about growth 
You do what you want, but don't push envelopes
Won't go beyond, or outside comfort zones 

You are a man that's stagnant 

You stick to routines, and do the same things
Refuse to do anything new, yeah that's weak
Can not push boundaries,  as a creature of habit 

You are a man that's stagnant...

Love goes with marriage
Like a horse with a carriage. . . 
but what of the horse?
The horse may lead the carriage,
but often stumbles or dies.

What of the carriage?
It often falls apart or
gets stuck in a rut.
But how beautiful the horse
and the carriage that endure!

Derived after much consideration.
Example scenarios run through causation. 
Consider all persons who will be affected!
Imagination running wild undirected.
Suddenly an answer dawns on me
I'm too tired to make a decision carefree
Opening a can of worms like cancer!
No way will I go there and become a belly dancer.
So, I'm stuck in a rut with you, my prancer!  ...

One love


Only had one love that mattered. 
The rest were just for fun. 
My heart was completely splattered,
By her true love gun. 


She blew me away and I never returned. 
Spent a lifetime of hurt wishing for another her,
But no-one matched up to the idea of an ideal love,
So I'm stuck in this rut for twenty years plus.

Just a change breaker,
Feeling as when your 
Breaking out, when 
your stuck in a rut, getting 
more and more anxious,
break out of this cloudy frame
of mind, feeling like I'm off 
my rocker, waiting to break out 
of this rut I have been in for 10 years,
wanting so badly to break out of this 
pain I have caused.
I am breaking free from a change, breaking
breaking breaking out....

I am in love and it is blind. I fell in love with you and hope yours is of the same kind. Sorry i am not better off, and i hope you wont take off. Im stuck in a rut and it feels like a giant cut. I hate everything i have become and dont know if this time i can overcome. Each day i get more and more depressed, i hope that someday i will get to rest. Im in love with you and im at a loss as to what i can do....

You say it's not fair

but why are you

in this moment

in this space

now?

 

Choices you make

is all it is

circumstance you say

and a higher power

the devil made you do it

 

the decision was yours

suck it up

take it like a man

or a woman 

 

are you here now

in leadership for

the wrong reason ?

 

burnt out you say

short vision

and blinkers on

is the trouble

more often than not

these days 

 

stuck in a rut?...

I'm taking a journey of change,
packing the thoughts I must rearrange,
the schedule tells me it's time to go,
how long it will take me, I just don't know-

Stuck in this rut since I don't know when,
I just know that it started before I was ten-
All the bad things and unpleasant thoughts,
create a drear shadow on the goodness I sought-

Without slowing down I steer straight ahead,
and seek to get better, before I am dead!...

determinedly traveling around and around
traveling in a circular motion
doing the same thing daily
enjoying nothing

spinning her wheels
loudly so others can admire
no one does

Using so much energy
showing it proudly
accomplishing nothing new

stuck in a rut, that cycles like a turntable
no one suggests any more
she is determined

traveling no where
seeing the same results
never jumping off her unproductive cycle....

Laying on my bed 
In the darkness 
Feeling all alone 

At a loss where to go
Or who to turn to

Stuck in a rut of despair 
And hopelessness 

Laying on my bed all alone 
In the darkness 
With sadness on my face 

In a place of despair 
I am in dire need of help 

Laying on my bed 
In the darkness 
Feeling all alone 

At a loss where to go
Or who to turn to

Feeling all alone 
Especially when surrounded by darkness...

I would risk it
All just to get away...

The highest mountain
Would be child's play...
The ocean and its depth
Would be no match...

I need to get away...
These mulling thoughts
I need to curb...

Uncertainty negate the truth, 
Does this mean, I'm stuck in this rut?

I need to get away...
If only one could escape ones mind
If only I knew where to go...
A place that offers serenity

I'm tired of fighting this battle, 
A battle I’m unable to win......

I think it’s time I stopped paying attention
To those who suffer from anal retention,
Who are stuck in a rut of raw vengeance
Penning verses out of jealous vehemence,
And lashing out with tirades of cattiness
Written with their characteristic nastiness,
Seems they cannot abide my liberal stances
They’d rather regress than make advances,
They tout protecting their individual liberty
No concern for what’s good for you and me.

Stuck in a rut, now baby
And I can't get out
Walkin' in circles
Wanna scream and shout
Can't stand this feelin'
Someone help me to keep breathin'

Walkin' in circles lord, I don't know why
This feelin' I can't stand, it really makes me cry
Lord, you must guide me
Tell me, what am I to do?
Go away troubles
Can't quit cryin' over you

Stuck in a rut
I just can't handle this stuff
Lord, I need a prayer
Can you help me to be tough?
Overwhelming fears
I've just had enough of this 
Stuck in a rut...

don't live today
what was learned
learned well once
can't be unlearned

stuck in a rut
thoughts bouncing
bound train tracks
one way ticket

purchased years ago
for this line only
now still validated
long lost reasons

don't confuse me
by words or action
hunker down hide
not a drop of truth

will i drink today
pound if you must
defenses multipy
since you're not aware

that i don't know
but a peak shows
i've seen your hand
you write the last line

LAST SHALL BE FIRST...
