Shouldda, Wouldda, Couldda


The days waved before me.

I should have
jumped aboard
But my fear shouted louder.
                                                                                                           Stay here.
I would have
jumped aboard
But my feet grew rooted.
                                                                                                          Stay here.
I could have 
jumped aboard
But my vision fell muted. 
                                                                                                          
They will 
as it is said                                                                                 Bury me here.

    Like the way you address a reticent spirit. We can get sucked under by fear
    nicely done

    Seems as though his fate is sealed.

    And we end up doing nothing, however much that costs us. Good Magpie,

    Sometimes we stay stuck as it appears easier than digging ourselves out...

    Good stuff!
