Frozen

Empty gaze

outlook meaningless

a sight of adjustment

Frozen to the spot

by a vision of total conformity

discomfort

Questions of direction

going nowhere

or anywhere

Tears run dry

Hoarse laughing fusing into

void, unfulfilled expectations

until feeling numb

Colour drowned

in notion of adjustment

unable to express, only impress

Moving forward or standing still

Courage overwhelming

Sense of confusion, of uncertainty

Reluctance to step out

Ceasing to stare into frigid greyness

dullness and moulded spirit

Replacing black and white

with tinted rainbows

dancing on the wall.

Ending the rigid stare

and turning

once and for all.
