Unstuck

I felt stuck, and I placed the blame

On my circumstances, but the feeling stayed the same

When external factors changed, why did I not realize

That the sense of being perpetually stuck did arise

From within me, I was acting as a hindrance in my own way

To move forward, I had to examine internal factors at play..

*

I had let unbridled fear take rein of me

I feared judgment from others constantly

The values I cherished I was trying to ignore

I was trying to please imaginary people more..

*

To feel unstuck, within my soul I needed to find

The core values hidden in the recesses of my mind

Then redesign my life in a way intentional

Based on my value system internal

In the process my fears I had to overcome

Finally I could start moving forward some…

*

Staying unstuck is a work in progress

Fear still torments me during this process

Old habits die hard, and that feeling stuck was admittedly

A bad habit from which I still struggle to break free
