at arms length

just when you know that everything is going to be alright
that it's finally your turn,
that cosmic bully comes by and shoves you out of the way and makes you lose your place in line.
and for the life of you, you just can't remember where you were.
and it feels like you've been shoved to the back of the line
and once again you wait and wait patiently,
and just as it's your turn because this time it wasn't so hard to get to where you are,
and you know in your heart that everything is going to be alright,
the cosmic order gets changed up again,
beginning to feel as if your climbing the stairs in Harry Potter,
yea! you know your feeling like the higher you climb, the harder it gets to jump to the ground,
because now you can't see it any longer, so you just keep climbing.
almost there, and something cosmic comes flying at you and you don't know how you ended up where you began.

by now it's not about all the climbing,
or being shoved out of line,
or missing your turn again,
but the question that burns in your gut is; "if i ask why, will i have more delays in my life?"
so at what point do you refuse to move and shove back, or yell and scream and have a temper tantrum; " WHAT THE HELL?
I'm doing the right thing............"

Now you cowl at the thought that you just pissed off someone at the top and they just like messing with you.
so now i ask, if i continue to ignore all the delays in my life am i going to ever get what just passed me by.
