Stuck

Stuck

The sun is shining.

I want to go out

But, I am stuck

 

I have things to do

I cannot leave

For I am stuck

 

They say “it is for my own good”

For you see, something’s wrong

So, here I am stuck

 

Confined in this place

My mind wanders

As I am stuck

 

Outside there is freedom

Outside there is beauty

Yet I am stuck

 

Time moves slowly

I pray for relief

But still I remain stuck

 

Someday I will rejoin

And no longer will

I be stuck
