Stuck in Today


Start to grow up,

get pulled 12 steps back.

About to move forward

then trapped in today.

Hoping for the future

only to have dreams shattered.

Wishing for change

while life remains the same.

What can be done?

Nothing new.

Stay in today,

wait for tomorrow,

and hope it is better

than the here and now.
