Locked, Frozen, Free

I am simultaneously locked, frozen and free. I am under a magnifying glass despite, or rather since, I’m huge. And I can be heard, learned from, but most importantly, seen, from miles away. Miles away until I sleep, while everyone, but most importantly, that one, can sleep until she’s pleased. But I can’t sleep, and that rots the brain. The heart, the senses, I can feel it all. I can’t feel it when I’m standing but when I’m laying down- I can be it all. I am not afraid of myself. I am simultaneously locked, frozen… but free?
