"A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song" -Maya Angelou


frozen in time

out of fear,

not ice.

 

frozen in fire.

with the belief that frozen

means momentarilly invincible.

 

motionless

protected from the catalysts

that create a reaction

that becomes an explosion

 

unfrozen cannot mean thawed

when it means burnt.

scortched.

scarred.

hurt.

 

frozen is isolation

from the pain

and the fire.

 

until muscles itch

skin gets sore

bones grow weak

slip...

face the fire.

burn.

 

 

freeze again.

When being invisible feels easier and safer than being seen, and every motion feels like it could set off a rediculously exhausting explosion.
