Quicksand Soles in the Running Shoes

<> pic unrelated

 like taking a treadmill walk in a marshy bog

one's feet can't help but slip more deeply

into inaction, a sedating fog 

just as our ankles are submerged beneath

in apathetic tugging, indecisive attempts to pull free  

"Do you even want to escape?"

Of course I do. But what do I do?

"You take a step."

Wow, simply breathtakingly amazing!
Through all the difficulties comes everything easy...
You, Aries, have rendered me speechless... There is so much that this poem says! Wow.... just wow....
If I never write poetry ever again, I can rest easy know that you are writing.

Thank you for your response :) I think that we all get lost in the repetitiveness of daily life from time to time, and we have to remind ourselves of our goals, lest we lose our focus.
