Turtle on a Treadmill

My first poem I wrote two years ago

POETRY

Like a turtle on a treadmill,

A fly stuck in a room,

Like a stick I use for sweeping,

But the end is not a broom.

I try to write my story,

Try to pave my path ahead.

Knowing there’s no difference,

When at night, I lie in bed.

To pray to God and ask,

What He plans indeed,

When all I’m really thinking,

Is what’s in it for me.

A sorry life to have,

When you’re your number one,

And when you look around,

God’s there just for the fun.
