Stuck Poem by Jennifer Reynolds

Stuck



I've been walking for a thousand years but my destination is still countries away

I'm tired

But i have been taught to walk till i cant anymore so i push and i push
Walk walk walk don't ever stop

Last i checked the only way to survive was….was to k-k-keep pushing (show in pain)
K-k keep

MOVE
I can't
I can't
I push myself to keep going
All I want is to reach my destination
The ground beneath my feet is steady, steady, steady

But the wind pushes hard against my skin bristling every hair shocking its root into erection
As I walk I feel that i am getting weaker
Have I been on this path before?
Every step makes my bones feel as though they are about to crack crack crack
CRACK

I - I what happ
I have been walking down this path for hundreds of years but my destination is still oceans away
I have been walking for so long that I have lost my identity (like yell it making it seem like i'm in pain)
Who am i
I walk and walk never ever stopping
This cage holding me in getting smaller smaller smaller
Until I can't breathe
Where am I
My mind is blank
Im left with nothing
No purpose
No function
I am alone in this world
Scared
I listen to the wind as it fills my body with air
As my soul slips away from me
I am lifeless
I am nothing
