I feel stuck,
Like gum on a shoe,
Between life
And a hard place.
Having to keep moving
No matter the attachments,
And the releases,
Of each, and every step.
I feel I’ve been chewed
And the neglected,
Left exposed,
Helplessly vulnerable
To circumstances.
I bear the scars of experience
And this life now has shapen me,
And made me stiff
So I no longer can mould
Into something new,
Ignorant of hurt,
Of loss,
Of heartache,
Of pain.
I have reached my oldest age,
As life begins to fade.
