If I sit here long enough Do I think I can force myself to be okay? I don't know. I could still my mind for a thousand years only to find a backlog of thoughts waiting Would my nails grow into the ground, forming roots, stability? Would I petrify? Become so comfortable that I turn to stone? Or would I become brittle, eroded by inaction, turned to ash that scatters indifferently Which disguise still allows me to be seen?
