my dreams are all so grand
the world shines with such great light
morning wakes wrathful demons
morning wakes wrathful demons
fear and doubt have me in their sights
root bound in my future inventions
root bound in my future inventions
i'm the mother of stillborn intentions
i'd love to entertain success
i'd love to entertain success
if i only could get myself dressed...
so i'll just stay stuck here
so i'll just stay stuck here
it isn't yet high tide
bee on a lollipop stuck here
the view is quite sublime
bee on a lollipop stuck here
the view is quite sublime
oh i'll just stay stuck here
it isn't all that bad
i'll just stay stuck here
i'll just stay stuck here
the sunsets are kinda rad...
one day i'll get out
one day i'll get out
and in that boat
you'll see
you'll see
i'll paddle out
to middle of it all
you'll be so proud of me
to middle of it all
you'll be so proud of me
but what if
a tsunami hits!
a tsunami hits!
how the hell would I survive?
and what if I do?
what do I do?
what do I do?
will the sharks eat me up alive?
so ... i'll just stay stuck here
so ... i'll just stay stuck here
ahhh, all this time for me
i'll just stay stuck here
i'll just stay stuck here
sunburned, hungry, thirsty
bored outta skull stuck here
bored outta skull stuck here
i could sure use some company
kinda sucks being stuck here
say, could you spare a line for me?
had enough being stuck here
oh thank god i'm not a tree
kinda sucks being stuck here
say, could you spare a line for me?
had enough being stuck here
oh thank god i'm not a tree

17 pennies in the hat:
smiles...a bee on a lollipop...dont let the uncertainty keep you stuck...my fav lines...
root bound in my future inventions
i'm a mother of stillborn intentions
the whole poem is a hyperlink too, that goes to a dead page, not sure if you realized that...
I think I fixed the hyperlink problem. If not...it's part of the poem y'all :)
Thanks Brian
yeah, those lines that brian pointed out socked me in the gut, while the rest is more playful about being stuck. whoosh.
Yeah, this poem is all about being stuck, realizing that you're stuck and just being to scared or lazy to do anything about it. So you just accept it and try to find silver linings in sewer pipes and crap like that. Maybe write a song or two about it...
Oh Rene ... you captured hearts and minds with this one.
Some days it's all about just getting dressed.
Yes, this one kind of slapped me. I'm very reluctant to launch out. Maybe your poem will help get me moving.
Risk it, says I! Unsticking can be fun...
I really love "i'm the mother of stillborn intentions"...wonderful write Rene...
I'm number "8" of your "9".
My favourite parts are the stanzas in italics. That's the old familiar self-doubt, eroding all self-confidence.
This picture would work for me, except it should be more like quicksand.
Yes you are 8. And you really mean it. At least I think you do. But maybe you're a bot, a Kat bot :)
and Kat...if you see quicksand then write of quicksand.
Love this Rene!!!!
Omigosh, this is terrific. I can feel the tidal movement of the non-moving. Terrific, indeed!
and just as I was thinking I wanted to be a tree.

I love the thought of a bee on a lollipop. I seriously am going to let that roll around in my head a bit. It's saying something to me...
This poem speaks to me. I think I may see a bit of that man in myself.

Thank goodness you arent a TREE! :)
You come up with such great images. Love the bee on the lollipop--now that's stuck!
