weighted

trying
to move
forward
but
i’m hip deep
in wet cement
and
chained
to an achor
there is no
going back
so
i am forced
to keep
struggling on

recently i read a poem about the erroneous notion that the earth is flat... this poem reminds me of that... perhaps it is true that we cannot go back, but why are we so sure that eventually we will not complete the circle and find ourselves back where we truly want to be?
