Fossilized

Control is a facade

Feeling so stuck

No control of what's happening

Around me

How can I move forward

When my feet are

Planted in tar

Fossilize me

Cause I'm obviously

Not

Going anywhere

Let my path shine

As to tease me

Let me feel the warmth of the sun

I'm so cold

Freezing

Bones are sore to the core

Muscles are inflamed

No movement

No moving forward

Must accept what's been given to me

Because control is a facade

And no matter how hard I try

There will always be

A huge wall to climb

But, first,

Oh, but first,

I must gather the tools necessary for such a journey.
