Standing Still

everything is changing...but not me?

what a shock to find that all this time
i've been in a rush moving quickly
searching for some big revelation
i was sure it was right around the corner
and of course it never was
but i was moving forward
and that was enough for me
i was getting places i had never yet been
and that felt great until i realized...

the world is moving all around me
quicker than i could ever have dreamed,
people living their lives
moving around, busy lives with no time
and i'm just standing still
what have i been doing all this time
to be in the same place
living the same life
just watching it all happen to
someone just not me.

Wow !! This was deep. This poem struck me like a rock in the back of the head. You know...when reality smacks you and you say"huh? have i been asleep all these years?" There are many others who have been in this position, feeling as if life is happening for everyone else but us. You did a great job of putting this down on page.
