Trapped in the Loop

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 6 months ago 1 min read

Yesterday whispers, today shouts in my ear

Tomorrow's shadow, already here

Clocks spin circles, hands don't steer

Time is a trap, an endless confusion

Past, present, future—just one illusion

We ain't movin', no path to choose

Stuck in the spiral, trapped in the loop

Hourglass shattered, sand won't fall

Everywhere and nowhere, I'm in it all

A pendulum swings, but it hits the wall

Every tick, a trick, every tock, a lie

Sunrise bleeds into a painted sky

Eternal now, where moments die

Time is a trap, an endless confusion

Past, present, future—just one illusion

We ain't movin', no path to choose

Stuck in the spiral, trapped in the loop

No straight lines, no end to the maze

A kaleidoscope of infinite days

Caught in the current, can't break away

Yesterday is today, is tomorrow, always

These are the lyrics to a song I wrote. You can find the song on Youtube, Spotify and Amazon.
