[Poem] Standstill

Having it figured out, but ultimately knowing nothing

Living life according to plan, but the plan is just a random something

Heads down, moving forward without any real thought or direction

Living the expectations of others than what we want, no real self-reflection

Then one day that life of drifting is broken, when you realize what you’ve been missing

Things come to a crossroads, the crossroads of Dismissing

The standstill occurs, do I evolve or stay stagnant?

Evolution brings uncertainty but stagnation brings sadness

The life you once knew is not the same as when you lived it

Since the pain of not changing has regrets that come with it

There is no right or wrong, there is no black and white

The answer doesn’t live within him or her, it only lives in I

So when your world is broken & your stuck bleeding out with emotion

Look within to find the answer and then get back in motion
