Stuck but thankful

You are stuck nowhere to go and just be still in one place.
Stuck in this empty space and feeling cold in the darkness.
Yelling back and forth like little kids - say sorry first.
That noise that you hear each day that you can't even leave and where you can't even say please stop.
Not a little kid anymore and you know better to control and not talk back, but sometimes triggers arise where you just talk back and that's where the misunderstandings happen.
Surroundings with piles of piles of papers, and it is time to throw them away.
Just stuck where there's no interaction and silence like you don't even know each other.
Where do you even start a conversation? Just saying hi and bye and here's food.
Looking at each other, not even knowing what to say.

You want to run and have peace of mind but you are stuck.
You want to clean but you don't even know where to begin.
Stuck like glue because this is your home and this is what you know.
You don't have nowhere to go and you can't support yourself by yourself.
You want to be on your own but how.
The feeling on your own and want to experience that.
Stuck in being messy where your mind is just overwhelmed with ruminating thoughts.
Embarrassment, questions after questions of when are you going to clean.
When are you ready? Are you just lazy or deep inside the feeling of like being stuck in this dark space?
The mixed emotions of up and down, not knowing where to go and how to communicate.

Even though you are stuck, you have a shelter where you sleep while other people sleep on the dirty streets.
You have food to eat while other people are starving.
You have a comfortable bed where you can have a good sleep and rest.
You have a place where you can keep yourself warm.
You are surrounded by people that are your relatives while some people are alone.
Maybe it's through actions and not words when people show that they care, giving you food.
It might be tough love.
The laughs to brush it off in what is happening but there are also laughs that are shared through moments spend time together.
Thankful to stay healthy and be inside to save lives.
Gotta respect your elders no matter what they say and you only got to say okay and no talking back no matter how much you want to.
No matter how much you feel stuck, the wait will be worth it and be patient. But for how long though?
Things happen for a reason and think differently in a way where positivity is inside and it will be around the universe too.
Smile, be grateful, and look, smell, and hear, and taste what is inside your home and what truly matters that is happening right now in front of your eyes.
Be strong together and be understanding because you never know what someone else is going through and everyone has their own challenges.
Stuck but thankful. One day everything will change and you start the change within you.
One step at a time and have that vision of taking action.
Stuck but thankful and one day you will be free like a bird.
