Standstill Poem by Dorsey Baker

Why you aint
going nowhere
Why you aint
doing nothing
whats causing the standstill
my friend
whats causing
the standstill
why you aint
trying to
climb that hill
whats killing your spirit
whats breaking you down
are there just too many
demons hanging around
whats the problem
my friend
why aint you
trying to move ahead
are you trying to stay alive
or are you trying to stay dead
why aint you
going nowhere
why aint you
doing nothing
whats causing
the standstill?
