Impasse

I am looking for new ways to bedazzle you. But I am at an impasse and I can't move. I feel like a bird with no wings, Like a ship with no sail, Like a car with no engine, Like a swimmer with no water, Like a runner with no track and field. In my mind I move my feet but I don't move. I want to wow you like I once did. I want you to be in awe of me. Your approval means the world to me. I long to see you smile from within. These words are spoken every day and night to a life size mirror on the wall. Alexis Y. 5- 8-18
