Freezing

We walk with a stutter in every step. Because every movement we make is a choice And decisions are never easy. At least never for me. I’m indecisive and unsure And with every step I take I’m a little bit closer to a new mistake. One I wasn’t expecting. So if I stop moving then I can’t make a mistake… But that doesn’t work. Just because I stop moving doesn’t mean the world will too. It’s like when a child closes their eyes thinking you can’t see them just because they can’t see you. Stopping is a mistake in itself. You’re just moving in slow motion while the rest of the world is on fast forward. And soon you notice that you’re just getting buried deeper into the sand. The beach is fine for a while Until you’re six feet under the dirt. Then it’s too late and there’s nowhere to move. And you’re too deep for anyone to hear your cries.
