Motionless

I walk outside to what seemed like a normal day

Look at the world that made me who I am

I see the world staring motionless back at me

Breathing less and less as it dies in front of my eyes

The world spinning and shrinking as my soul cages me

I stand there motionless

I collapse into the life before me

Laying on a tall hill watching the stars

Thinking on something that was once important

Living like I had never done again

The motionless stars stare back at me

Its a shame that they never ever warned me

Another day begins to shine in my face

Of life and why we wait for a new day

I see a gloomy day out in the pouring rain

Dancing blindly in the frozen moment

Lights come as a delayed warning

Tears escape as an even later reaction

Caught in the blinding end 

She stood there stricken motionless

Childlike innocence more frightening than blissful

A curse to the world and mostly myself

More painful is the fear of something new

The life I would now live because of then

In such agony that physical pain could not compare

In a moment of silence I lay motionless

Stare to the open world with no hope for happiness

The sky changes before my eyes once more

Back in the moment that no longer is motionless

I stop staring and I continue moving down the sidewalk
