Bound by Time's Unmovable Flow

As time keeps marching forward, I am stuck In a rut, unable to move or grow The world around me changes, like a clock Despite my efforts, I am still in the dark and have nothing to report. I long to break free from this empty shell To evolve and improve, to be reborn But something holds me back, I cannot tell Why am I trapped, why am I so forlorn I watch as others flourish, blossoming. Into something more than they were before While I remain here, stuck, not evolving Feeling lost, like I can't open the door I yearn to break free from this endless rut To finally move forward, to rise above But until then, I remain stuck, feeling shut Away from the world, unable to love The feeling of emptiness is deeply felt within me. A yearning for more, a desire to be healed.
