Analysis of Paralysis
This is paralysis.
Am I loud and clear?
Repetition, repetition
Save me; this is
Relief one inch at a time.
But all this is temporary.
Treading water and
Barely afloat.
Should I
Drop everything and
Collapse into
Anesthesia?
Don't hide.
Resist.
My eyes may be
Sewn shut,
But I can still
See the clouds.
