I read an article today that left me a bit disturbed... Something about knowing when to quit... What disturbed me was the fact that I know exactly what the author is talking about, I would have advised anyone to follow suit, yet I fail to do so myself...
Laziness? Fear? All kinds of fear honestly... Patience? For... Hope?
Still...
Still in the water
Waiting for the wind;
Quiet breathing
Embalming what remains
Of harmful thoughts
Stay at bay...
Stay at bay!
Wrinkles on the surface;
The illusion of a movement...
A breeze from afar? No,
A beat from within...
Show me my face
As distorted as it should be.
Don't soften my pain
Don't cradle my worries
Don't let me look away...
The thrashing continues,
It shouldn't be contained.
The mind is well-worn
And the signs are there...
Yet
Still in the water
Waiting for the wind;
To warm, to chill...
Go out? go in...?
Still in the water;
Still
Still...
