twenty two

I realized I was broken…

When I saw how fast everything was moving.

How people find what they need

How they live.

 

They live.

They laugh, they cry, they risk, they see.

And I sit.

I sit and I watch them

Like an observer, a writer watching his book characters come to life

While he himself sits in a small, locked room.

 

If only he opened the door and saw

That not only his books teem with life

But that life surrounds him

Only if he opened the door
