Still...

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...
