Still

By Afreen Wahab

I stand still and the whole world is in motion

I sat on a bench and soul wandering,

hovering with the crowds

Like a statue

Waiting, legs are chained

Demons sat on my shoulder

Casting a spell on to my ears.

I stand still and the whole is in motion

The earth revolving

Days turns into nights

Nights to days

Overshadowed by despondence

Staring, searching for a happy soul

With scars on the surface,

With gleaming rawness

Nullifies the gloomy void within me.

I stand still and the whole world is in motion.
