My Struggle

by jarrod   Feb 18, 2007


My escalator turned on
and now I am tired
going up the down
I must be faster

People in the center
will block my path
I'm pushed to the side
they coast on
they think im wrong
instead im right

i'd really like to turn
take the easy path
My back to failure
and my face to success
even as such
I near more to failure

why won't they move
and let me on by
on this escalator
there's room for two!

    Very nicely written, and had a wonderful messege within. I can relate and I'm sure many others can as well. The flow as well as the structure was good. Can't wait to read some more from you. Keep up the excellent work.

    Peace, Joe

    I think this is something we can all relate to. I try not to struggle though. It just isn’t helpful, plus it takes my attention away from the many little beauties of life.
    Sometimes the harder path does more good to us than the easy one. but you’re quite right. I agree with you about the last stanza. The majority of people are like that. ‘tis sad.
    thanks for again sharing your poems with us :)
