"Will I Ever Arrive"

Darrell Wayne Self 1967 (Arlington)



        "  Will I Ever Arrive "
 Lately I've been
In a little bit of pain.
Not that alls bad
There's sunshine to
Not just the rain..
Just life if you feel what I mean. Are things really as they seem.. Yesterday has now become today. No closer , just further away..
Further than traveled plans.
A feeble Mortal neck deep in this quicksand..
"Will I ever arrive"
Or am I too late ?
Could this all be a dream
Or is this my fate .?
Five times at this losing task.
All for others whom I couldn't grasp.. Now six , but it's about me. To remain shackled
Or set myself free..
