STUCK

By: Mia Palencia

I felt like I was caught in a repetitive cycle,
where every step feels the same. While others around me seem to move forward with purpose, I’m stuck with doubt and hesitation. Each day blends into the next, and the path ahead seems blurry, while I stand frozen in place, hoping for a spark to break the chain.

Time passes steadily, but I remain trapped,
unable to break free from this unchanging pattern. I’ve been told that life isn’t a race,
but in my search for a way out of this maze, I wonder if there’s a path that leads to something different.

I imagine that in the midst of this quiet struggle, there might be a moment when things finally change, when the weight holding me back is lifted, and I can move forward. I dream of a time when fate will finally favor me, and every twist and turn in life will lead to something new and meaningful.

For now, I’ll remain here, stuck in these endless loops, holding onto the hope that one day, this cycle will end, and I’ll find the rest and release I’ve been longing for. But then, will the cycle ever break? Will I ever find the freedom I’ve been yearning for? Or am I destined to remain in this unchanging pattern, forever searching for an escape that may never come?
