Patiently Stuck

Taking a step forward

feels heavier than stepping back—

so life quietly turns itself around

in response.

Watching the light of others

eventually makes you a pedestrian

in your own life.

Patience, they say, is a virtue—

but waiting without breaking confidence

takes strength

most won’t recognize.

Gravity helps ground those

who seem to hover above us—

reminding us not to envy,

but to stay rooted

in what truly fulfills us.

Success,

if not planted in happiness,

won’t grow.

True satisfaction takes time.

But walking a path

not designed for you

will always leave the soul

astray.
