Stuck



Life on hold while you decided
What will you do? You won't sacrifice your pride.
Everyone else is moving forward every day.
Here I am, I have to stay the same.
I can't move forward.
I can't go back.
I can't find the answers, how did we get so far off track?

About this poem

I wrote this poem 10 years ago when my life was falling apart. Lossing my partner to depression and was struggling to find myself.
