Sometimes
we wander
and feel like
their climbing more ladders
their achieving more
experiencing more
and we’re left feeling a little like
Were not trying enough
getting far enough
not always feeling good enough
we wander , why
we feel like we feel a little
Behind in life
in getting further
experiencing the more of the new
knowing how to be like some others
we wander if we’re doing something wrong
not trying enough ? Maybe ..
and are they trying more
not trying enough ?
how much do I have to try ..
left behind in life
missing out on so much
for some reason
wandering why
why do they know how to ‘ do’ life
and I don’t ..
maybe I’m not trying enough
but life’s not a ‘ test ‘
and shouldn’t be hard

Self blame is often used as a justification for where we are Inequality is not always due to individual lack of effort and this poem comes down hard. A lovely write that inspires strong feelings
Thankyou)) I think sometimes we can wander if we’re helping ourselves enough .. or have doubts about ourselves . I think maybe that comes from insecure and not always feeling good enough .. I’m not sure .
We can’t be perfect and guess shouldn’t be critical towards ourselves but i guess sometimes we can feel that way ..
Having dissociation ( mental health problems ) makes things feel a little difficult sometimes , anyway
And some people have things easier / find things easier
Thankyou very much
Wonderful poem, my friend. I can relate!
Thankyou )))
You are most welcome!
Very good words yellow rose, we should always be moving forward in life.

We ‘ should ‘ be but it doesn’t always happen that way
And some people find it easier
Thankd
A heartfelt write of feeling they are responsible for there current feelings and situation through lack of effort, a strong write, hoping you have a good weekend
Yeah well it isn’t my fault but sometimes feels I’m not getting far enough . But nobody’s perfect and nobody’s above anybody else ..
It isn’t just the really confident ones that deserve it all
Thanks so much for the kind words
You are very welcome
