paralyzed by it
eyes closed, but twitch
unmoving and confused
traumatically stiffened
for here, I sit
not moving an inch
crease between my brows
unknowing and not allowed
to move
to breathe
to live
to see
to believe
to be free
I'm a captive
with hands bound
and eyes covered
waiting to recover
Author notes
this is from the prompt 'stillness' and it's about someone being so in shock, they can't find their way out of it.
