Stuck in Stillness

In the quiet corners of my mind,

Where dreams and hopes are hard to find,

I stand, a shadow in the light,

Wishing for the will to fight.

The world rushes by, a vibrant hue,

While I feel lost, with no clear view.

Each day’s a whisper, a silent plea,

Yearning for a chance to be free.

I watch as others chase their fire,

While my heart aches, caught in desire.

The weight of doubt, a heavy chain,

Leaves me longing, lost in pain.

Yet in the stillness, a spark ignites,

A flicker of hope in the darkest nights.

I dream of mountains, of skies so wide,

Of breaking free from this aching tide.

So here I stand, feeling so small,

But in this moment, I’ll rise, not fall.

For even in shadows, I’ll find my way,

To colors and dreams that lead me to play.
