Rooted

 

I’m stuck

Rooted to this one spot

Unable to move.

My life in scraps at my feet.

“Stay positive

this isn’t as bad

as it looks,

not as hard to fix

as it seems”

I tell myself

Over and over.

 

It’s all moving so fast

I can’t keep up,

What am I doing

With my life

But standing here stuck?

I can’t move forward,

I can’t clean up my life

Here at my feet.

I don’t have the energy

and I don’t know where I’m going,

Or what i’m doing.

 

 

All I can do is

Keep telling myself

“Stay positive

this isn’t as bad

as it looks,

not as hard to fix

as it seems”

Over and over.

Because I’m stuck,

Rooted to this spot

Unable to move.
