Stillness typically occurs during an occasion where it's traumatic
An occasion that may leave one for a loss of words
Or an occasion that was so terrifying that the obvious two options where blind to the eye
That both...
-Flight-
And
-Fight-
Do not work
Are not options in such a grousom occasion
For there is in fact a middle ground between these two
Between these two options filled by fear, brought but by fear, and ultimately depend on fear
But...
What if...
This terrible occasion was absolutely so horrifying
So blood-curling
So sickening
That one was consumed by fear too quickly
So quickly that...
-Flight-
And
-Fight-
Where no longer options
Only the middle ground
Only stillness
