Time Stands Still
My hands are shaking;
My voice is quiet.
There's that pressure in my chest
That's growing.
Do you know what it feels like
Not to breathe?
For fear it could change your whole reality
Forever?
In just a moment's notice
Time stands still.
Afraid of regrets.
Scared of rejections.
All those little things
That make up my life
Could change once I speak to you.
Transform into sanity
Or quickly fall into solemness,
All I can do is wait for that jarring instant
That takes away my many inquiries
And replaces them with truth.
In just a moment
Time stands still.
