I attempt to get up and walk but my limbs are in stasis I command this body lying on the ground to do my bidding, its no good Eventually I tire myself and get frustrated so I choose to forget how to move I'm happy now but only for a brief moment My delusion of being contempt fades, I feel defeated I observe others and how they move without any struggle I envy them No I hate them After countless days had passed I had given up not only hope but emotions overall I admit defeat and go numb No more struggles No more despair No more hope One day a man walks up to me, grabs my wrist, and heaves me up I dangle from this mans grasp, I'm amazed My feet slowly touch the ground My arms stretch out and I remember how to move This unbearable weight has been removed, I am in awe This unconceivable frustration is no longer present I am indebted to this man however without saying a word he disappears Time passes I forget what it was like to be immobilized My memory of the man who picked me up fades And one day I choose to lay down and forget how to move again

Move!
I attempt to get up and walk but my limbs are in stasis I command this body lying on the ground to do my bidding, its no good Eventually I tire myself and get frustrated so I choose to forget how to move I'm happy now but only for a brief moment My delusion of being contempt fades, I feel defeated I observe others and how they move without any struggle I envy them No I hate them After countless days had passed I had given up not only hope but emotions overall I admit defeat and go numb No more struggles No more despair No more hope One day a man walks up to me, grabs my wrist, and heaves me up I dangle from this mans grasp, I'm amazed My feet slowly touch the ground My arms stretch out and I remember how to move This unbearable weight has been removed, I am in awe This unconceivable frustration is no longer present I am indebted to this man however without saying a word he disappears Time passes I forget what it was like to be immobilized My memory of the man who picked me up fades And one day I choose to lay down and forget how to move again
