Glued to the surface, I cannot move
Trapped in this moment, unable to prove
My thoughts and my feelings, they're all a blur
As I am stuck, with no way to stir
Glued to the surface, like a statue I stand
My heart is pounding, like a drum in a band
But my body is frozen, I cannot break free
From this spell, that has taken hold of me
Glued to the surface, I feel so small
Like a tiny ant, against a towering wall
I try to speak, to make a sound
But my voice, it cannot be found
Glued to the surface, my mind is racing
But my body is still, it's as if I am pacing
Back and forth, within my own mind
But my feet are cemented, I cannot find
Glued to the surface, I am like a painting
But instead of a canvas, it's my body that's waiting
For the artist's brush, to set me free
But until then, I'll just be a piece of scenery
Glued to the surface, I am a part
Of this world, but also apart
From the hustle and bustle, that surrounds me
I am stuck, unable to break free
Glued to the surface, I see it all
The beauty and the pain, both big and small
I long to join in, to be a part of it
But I am just an observer, with no way to commit
Glued to the surface, I am like a fly
Trapped in a web, unable to fly
I see the light, but I cannot reach
As I am stuck, with no way to breach
Glued to the surface, my thoughts are loud
But my voice, it cannot be found
I try to scream, to make a plea
But the glue, it won't let me be
Glued to the surface, I am alone
With my thoughts, that are like a cyclone
Spinning and spinning, but going nowhere
As I am stuck, with no way to repair
Glued to the surface, I am like a tree
Rooted in place, unable to flee
But unlike a tree, I cannot grow
For I am stuck, with no way to show
Glued to the surface, I am a prisoner
Of my own mind, with no way to deliver
Myself from this hold, that has me tight
As I am stuck, with no end in sight
Glued to the surface, I am a mystery
A puzzle, with no solution or history
For no one knows, what it's like to be
Glued to the surface, just like me.
