Stagnant

Consciousness of the problem is all but half of the battle

It's the will to change that one must formulate



I pose with a stretch

Riverside park bench

Under dressed for the occasion

Suffocated to the wind

Metaphorically comparing my purpose to the peace bridge



Like all I've ever been is a connection

The dread of the road trip



Towering anxiety

Suspended above a body

Of the same stuff that flows through me



That has been absent as of late

And now I'm well aware of why

I've been stagnant paralyzed

I feel nothing for anything else other than your eyes

How they reflect mine

How they constantly move me closer to the person I promise I'm trying to be



Oh how lately it's been evident

I've been letting everyone I know

Down, down, down

And lately I've been taking hits

For people that they'd rather me not be around

Around, around, around

I promise I'm different now, believe it or not

I'm right here without you now

I'm still lost, I'm still gone, gone, gone

Gone, gone, gone

I'm still...
