Frozen

My thoughts are bounding,
the whispers- deafening.
my body is racing-
     but I'm completely still.

I run out the door,
throw myself behind the wheel,
and speed away-
     but go nowhere.

Afraid if I move,
I'll never stop.
Afraid if I go,
I'll never return-
     but still, I'm here.

Wow.
I like this cause
it speaks about how we know we MUST move yet we are so afraid that we arent sure, and fear keeps us from doing things yet we know we must move therefore--i dare you to move.

So painful and hard here, the pain again, killing you with all your emotions, it's hell and so crazy sometimes...

I hope you feel better soon,
