I’m in a rut

It drives me nuts

I want to scream and shout!

I always do

Nothing new

It makes me want to pout.

So what do I

Need to try

To leave my comfort zone?

I need to find

Peace of mind

C’mon throw me a bone.

The last time I

Had to try

Something new was years ago.

A new career

I had such fear

Yet I have truly loved it so.

But the time is now

To take a bow

Time to start something brand new

But I don’t know

Where to go

Or even what I should do.

But I suppose

That as it goes

I should take an inventory

Of all my skills

And all my ills

For the next page of my story.

Still it would mean

A brand new scene

And lots of gurgling in my gut.

But I must do

Something new

And get out of this deep old rut.

(I don’t suppose

I could write prose

And poetry forevermore

But writing sublime

Verse and rhyme

Is the dream deep in my core.)
