That deafening silence tore my heart away,
With moist cheeks and parched lips,
Still I stood, my head moving its own way!

Nowhere to go, everywhere I gazed,
I was still, whilst the world ran
Blindly seeing my plight, I was amazed.

I wanted to move, but was glued….
I wanted to scream, but mumbled,
Heavy like a log felt my leaf like emotions,
Stuck in a place I swayed with soulless perceptions..

It was surreal, yet real,
When I slept , I was awake
Now when alive, its an illusion.
