Frozen Statue
Sometimes, I question my sanity.
It never ceases to amaze me.
Out of nowhere,
the thing I’ve dreamed of drops in my lap
And suddenly,
I’m not so sure that I want it.
Only 2 minutes before,
I would have killed for it.
But now, something seems askew.
I can’t put my finger on it it.
I pause. Wait.
If I stand still long enough,
whatever is wrong will miraculously right itself.
Pose. Smile.
I hear words, but nothing penetrates the ice.
… It’s still there.
If I really needed it, I’d take it, wouldn’t I?
Maybe, I didn’t want it all along.
For a moment though, it seemed so right.
Sooo, right.
I’m a statue now.
Oh, God.
Please make it go away! |
