Poem about keeping moving.
I didn’t want to carry this

planned on leaving it behind

Life will happen while you’re standing still

Stuck inside your mind

So you stand up and stretch your legs

Try to shake off all the pain

You keep on taking every step

Though every step’s the same

I’ve got miles of red before me

And years of baggage in tow

I may not be needed anywhere,

I’d still like to get

Where I’m trying to go

I might not always feel it

I’m working, awake, and alive

But if I don’t keep on moving

I might not survive

For all the years behind me

A whole life’s worth of debt

I don’t have time to turn around

No time for regret

I Keep on moving forward

When the road is sharp and rough

Today was still a good day

I’m still here; that’s enough
