Emotions Get in the Way

It's difficult to make another step when the mud is hugging your feet. It's difficult to make another move if the chains are stopping your arms. Moving forward is always a challenging thing to do when there is always something that's holding you back. I sometimes think. Why can't I be happy with those around me? Why can't I open the door for some people who are reaching out? And I know the reason that lies behind. It is always THAT thing. And people say I have to be thankful for the things I have. I do. I mean... I am.
