Inspirational Poetry by Cody Dickinson

Pigeon-Holed

Have you ever felt as like,

You’d been put into a box,

And thought you’d be released,

About never o’clock.

Assigned the mundane tasks,

You’ve done so many times,

You know you could get done,

Even if you were deaf and blind.

It seems you have been cast,

Cast into a mold,

My friend, just like me,

You’ve been pigeon-holed.

What happened to the new things,

The challenges for your mind?

The excitement of learning,

Helped to pass the time.

Do you watch the clock,

And dream about the day,

When you were the one,

The one to lead the way.

Your career is lying dormant,

Your talents growing old,

Your mind begins to wander,

You’ve been pigeon-holed.

Now you’re pushed aside,

And others get the ball.

Sometimes it makes you wonder,

Are you needed at all.

Maybe it’s time for change,

There’s challenges to be found,

It’s time to hit the streets,

Just start to look around.

If you’re sick of stagnation,

Then go for the gold,

Do not let them ever,

Keep you pigeon-holed.
