It is the stillness that haunts my days

It is the stillness which keeps me awake

It is the stillness that creeps into my soul

It is the stillness that holds me back

It is the stillness which prevents movement

I can’t move,

Can’t eat,

Can’t sleep

The stillness keeps me in place

I hate the stillness

The only thing it does is keep me pinned

I hate change

But without it I am forever stuck in the stillness

But is it really better to be safe than to be free?

The stillness is safe

The stillness is what leaves me be

Although, I do wonder what I could be

Maybe the stillness is not for me
