Not so easy

boot

Down again and back again..
Trouble you..life throws ..
No matter how above you get ..
However hard you try ..

There's always something pulling you 
Back to the easy side 

Easy for the moment..
Forgotten...hidden woes
Yet step aside..reflect ..a bit 
No shame in self aware 

Pulling... pulling...all the time 
Easy side is calling 

Pulling...pulling... so ever gently 
You hardly feel you're falling 

An outward face of manliness 
It's needed..in this life 
All's controlled...you'll never fold 
Still...inside you cry 

Pulling... pulling...all the time 
Easy side is calling 

Pulling...pulling... so ever gently 
You hardly feel you're falling 

A greasy path...  a forgotten laugh ...
With friends...who cast no blame 
The real you...the one all knew 
Has fled...and stole your name 

Come back and stay awhile

        James, this speaks to me. Real change is rarely about one big decision...it's often recognizing those quiet moments when we're drifting and choosing to turn around. I really appreciated this one, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
