I am impersonating a statue.
Control your superficial image
and no one will notice
that you are counting your breaths
and compelling your eyes to stay dry.

My impersonation is flawless
excluding my trembling fists.
My heart is squeezing too tight
but it's lost along the rigidness of my body.

I am filled with anger.
I am trying to run away from my fear.
I am silenced by despair.
I...
I can't remember why I am still here.

If I just stand here
will I freeze in time?
'Cause I don't want to leave
but nor do I want to stay.
