I Feel

Sedentary

I Feel

Never have I felt so slow before,

I do not enjoy this feeling,

Please make it stop progressively dimmer,

Do not have the gumption to do much better,

Though I know that it is still within me,

I need a single ray of light from someone else in need,

The courage to go past another slimmer of a day,

To wind up somewhere I can cope with it,

Instead of shadow over it at a refugee's pace,

A social divide if you will,

Where all is better said and done,

I want to show myself that there is still potential in me to shine through the fog.

    Of course you will shine. But you can't know it all then learning would never exist and that's boring. Excellent poem .
