Stuck I’m stuck inside my own mind’s prison, Walls built high with doubt and fear, A place where shadows crawl and whisper, And hope feels distant, never near. I fight to chase away the darkness, To drown the bad thoughts with a brighter song, But they cling like shadows in the night, And I find myself lost, all along. I try to replace the...

Stuck Separated together , part 5
She’s awake, though, wide awake, her mind miles away, spinning stories she knows aren’t true, dreams she knows will never come to life. She imagines, with a kind of detached satisfaction, what it would be like to touch someone else. Not him. Never him, but someone else. Maybe the neighbor’s wife, his her...

Stuck separated together, part 4
Sometimes, she thinks about leaving, about walking out the door and never coming back. Maybe that would be easier, maybe it would hurt less than staying in a house full of silence, of unspoken words. But she doesn’t move. Neither of them does. They’re stuck, like two pieces of a puzzle that don’t fit together...

Stuck Separated Together, part 3
There was a time when they talked about everything. They talked about their dreams, their fears, the things that made them laugh until they couldn’t breathe. They talked about their plans, their future, and the life they were going to build together. Now, there’s silence. She wonders if it’s her fault. She wonders if...

Stuck separated together, part 2
It was their choice to stay, wasn’t it? Neither of them said the words out loud, but somewhere along the way, they both agreed that living together in this hollow space was better than letting go, better than facing the emptiness outside of these walls. They stayed because the thought of walking away,...

Stuck separated together, part 1
They say that when two people are together for too long, they begin to lose themselves. They start to shift, fade into each other like colors blending on a forgotten canvas, and, in the end, you can’t tell where one begins and the other ends. But they never mention what happens when two people...

Safe, But Stuck
I was once sad and miserable, Stuck behind the same four walls. Home felt safe — Too safe — Because I didn't want to leave. The world outside felt big and loud, And fear would always pull me down. So I stayed where I knew best, Hiding in my little nest. The walls were kind, they held me tight, But they blocked the morning light. I...

I’ve tasted a morsel of darkness, In the frantic fleeing from sight. And I’ve searched in every crevice - For the thing that let me fight. - But I couldn’t find the time to stay, Or the willpower to go. And because of that I’m stuck in clay - In the place I used to know....

Stuck on Repeat
Livin like I'm on the streets Kuz I'm just too beat My life never been sweet Been a rough f*kn road since day one Can't even pretend this is fun This run is way over done But the double yellow lines & no shoulder Got me stuck in this lane It's f*kn lame I dream about boring and plain Begging for a...

Stuck
Feet glued to your welcome mat, our fingers meshed like Velcro and pieces of our shattered hearts haphazardly taped together; my tears and your fidgeting weaken the adhesive, yet, we do not— can not— move....

Why I Got Stuck on You
Why I Got Stuck on You You slipped into my world like the first drop of rain, after a long drought, quiet but unmistakable. It wasn’t just the rain—it was the moment it fell, breaking the stillness, and everything came alive again. I didn’t see it coming, but I knew right then— I was no longer alone. I got stuck on you...

stuck in the past
You moved a step ahead and left me behind, Now I do everything to keep you off my mind. Looks like you’ve built this whole new setup, I act like I’m fine, but I’m really fed up. Of hearing your name wherever I go, But deep down, I think we both know... That we’re stuck in the past, Our time together flew...

STUCK
Locked up inside my head. My skull a cage, my skin a guard. I need out. Out of my head. Break the cage, kill the guard. I need space. Space to think. Without a cage, without a guard. I can’t do this anymore… ...

Talents Stuck in the Village
Here we are, our falsehoods are now through, Did you claim your share from life’s clear view? Erasing one name from this fragile world, A name that history forever unfurled. We left the village just the other day, Yet for its warmth, we always long and pray. Enjoying life in our own fleeting ways, We’re all just bellies hauling earth’s clays. In youth,...

Yes, I know
It’s really quite hard I was dealt a bad hand Nothing written in the cards And I don’t have a plan I couldn’t make this up I couldn’t if I tried I guess this is the point That I’m at in my life I’m batting for first base And I’m back at square one Always end up in this place When I think that I’m done I’m...
