Stuck in a Rut, Waiting on a Second Hand Pick Me Up

sometimes i feel like i’m stuck
in a rut doing the same things over
and over again

and i want to be able to stop
doing these things
because remembering fills me

with nostalgia and sadness
and i just want it to
end

because

i’m still writing words for people
who don’t read them

i’m still talking although
no one’s listening

i’m still waiting for someone to tell me
why
