Journey

Journey

I am like a wagon

with three wheels 

pointing to the light

and one less round

crookedly, cowardly

riding on a rim of darkness

in the early morning

on a broken keyboard

in expensive adherence

traveling a circle

of lonely

afraid to change

letting my heart's axle

run aground.

I sleep within myself

rather than

join the train

where the others

await me.

Such courage in these words in a time when it’s the norm to be one in the unwashed herd of followers.
Its always healthy to look inward and aim to do better to be better.
Thank you for the reminder my friend.

Is it a journey to discover yourself by staying in your comfort zone? Or does someone have to be proof that you are traveling? Why are they waiting for you? You should think about this.
Not every journey may take you to a good place, staying within yourself is not always a good choice (probably not most of the time).
Being drawn into one's own route can cause a person to get stuck in the same cycle.
It is good to have people waiting. Support is good.

I felt the pressure of staying in the comfort zone. You wrote it very well, sir. Thank you for sharing.
