This is me some days,
Not on the inside trying to get out
But on the outside wanting to get in.
It’s getting harder
Opportunity is still a distant goal.
Nature is having its say,
Whether or not to fight on
Suffer the pain to achieve the gain.
There’s a light shining though
It’s my hope,
That if I keep my eyes forward
I can take that next step
And who knows where it will lead me?

Very evocative Michael
Thanks so much Sadje.
You’re most welcome
I think many feel the same. Hope is the way to finding our way.
It’s what we cling to at times
