The days fly by
And soon years have passed,
The past which I seem to be caught in.
Everyone moves forward
But I remain,
Stagnant,
Unmoving. Why?
My youger sister, married;
And I now an aunt.
My friends married too.
Divorced,
And married again.
I do not ask
To follow their steps, but
To forge my own.
But my feet are stuck
In this mire in which I live,
This seemingly dead end.
And life just keeps
Passing me by.
Julie -May 15 1997
