Second Gear

I can’t seem to make it out of second gear

Crawling my way through yet another year

I don’t know what of but I’m afraid

And the overwhelming uncertainty and fear

Keeps me from shifting gear

I can’t get the clutch to engage

I see the others in fast lane

Passing me by

And I tell myself that’s where I ought to be

Where I need to be

But instead of shifting up

I find myself closer to giving up

And I don’t even understand why
