Life Goes On - Written By: Elisabeth

life goes on. they always say that, yet you feel like life is moving without you. you feel stuck in mud while everyone is running ahead of you trying to get to the next mile. ironically you try to get others to help you out of the mud, but they’ll get stuck too if they linger too long. they try and try to pull you out but they realize they’re losing track of time. They help you with all they can but they have to make the decision of if they are going down with you or leaving you in the mud. Usually they pick leaving you there. Some might even stay a while but realize the only one who can pull you out is yourself. So you wait for it to rain. When it rains, it pours. It pours so heavy that you keep sinking but you hope that one day the mud will loosen and you’ll be able to get a little closer out of the puddle. You know that the sunny days aren’t always good because it can dry the mud around your feet and make you think better days are ahead. you still can’t move your legs. however you think you can so you pretend to run. you run and run and run and realize you’re still in the mud. Thunder lightning rain sun. repeat. One day it’ll rain so much you feel like you’re drowning in the mud instead of trying to get out of it. You hope one day the bad days are over and you can finally get the courage to get out the mud. One day you will. One day the rain will be so much you decide to finally dance in the mud and in the rain. True Happiness is the only thing thing that can bring you out of the mud. That takes time so while everyone around you is running laps around you while you feel stuck in place, life goes on.
