Stuck


Everything seems to be getting better for everyone except me.

Is it because I don’t try hard enough?

Is it because I don’t pray enough?

Or is it because this is just where am I supposed to be?

I’m stuck in a rut.

One year has come and gone.

I’ve yet to return and I don’t know when I’ll be back.

You said you’ll wait for me, but all I see, all I know is I am being left behind.

Everyone says I’m so proud of you.

You’ve come this far.

But to me.

I’m stuck in a rut far from what I’m supposed to be.
