Stagnant
Stuck in the mire
Time stands still
I have been rendered inert
By that which I have lost
Hope is gone
Lost in the quagmire
That is my mind
Rendered speechless
As I look out my window
At the tinsel colored
Chain link and razor wire
That has somehow become
My silver lining
I begin to question
My inner most thoughts
Are things really as bad as they seem
Or am I ever so slowly
Losing my mind
As feelings of contentment
Fill my soul
I am rendered powerless
Over my life as a whole
