Stuck

I'm stuck
In a rut
And no matter how hard I try
I can't escape

I feel like i'm writing the same poem
Over and over again
I write it in my sleep
I write it wherever I am

It's the same poem
With different words
With a different meaning
But it's still the same

I write about the boy
Who first took my heart
Then handed it back
On a plate

I'm stuck
I pull and pull
I struggle
Till I can't anymore

Something keeps pulling me back to him
I keep trying to understand
What's keeping me here
In this same place

I scream to God
Asking him why I can't let him go
Why can't I simply forget it
If i'm meant to stay why has their been no sign

I'm stuck
With no escape in sight

*sigh* a self explanatory poem

Escape is not needed, it's a mindscape a trap of emotions that hold you down, learn to embrace the pain, even love it make it a friend, only then will you feel free to love again, to love another who is worthy of recieving such a beautiful gift...well expressed and emotional poem

Life is a crazy journey. Some people leave permanent scars. I like the feel and emotion of this poem. Some questions need to be fixed with time and new experiences. A excellent poem. Thank you.

Hun, you realy need to stop writing about him.because you just keep reminding your self that he did you wrong.

Well you can keep writing about him. But for every poem you write about him you should write one that's completely not associated with him at all. Take a walk and write about what you see on your walk. Write a poem about a fantasy you've had. So many things to write about. I think it's good you write about him, but maybe it would be good for your mind to write about a variety of things too. I really appreciated the honesty of this poem.

Great expression! Well sometimes we have to beat an old horse to make sure it is dead! Remember someone can enliven the love that already exists in our heart, that they can never take.

I feel like I write the same poem over and over again too.
I know this is random, but the poem about your sister is suck in my mind. I hate to say it, but she shouldn't have said that to you.
It's not your fault for what she does.
