Standing Still.
I feel like I'm floating slowly
Up off of the ground but I'm standing still.
The world seems to be spinning
Faster and yet I seem to be standing
Still.
I spread my wings to fly look
Down and my feet never left the ground.
I try walking away and i can see
Myself moving but if I look closely
It seems I'm not moving at all
I never was cause I'm
Still standing still.
I fall to my knee's and beg
For mercy upon me and I open my
Eyes to see that I'm actually on
My knee's I get up and see I'm moving my feet
I start to run and there still moving
I stop and look up and say thank you
And I start back running and jumping with
Joy because now I'm free I'm not standing
Still.
