The Wall
I look down from atop the wall—I am overwhelmed fear paralyzes me—the challenge is too much but I cannot stay here—life moves along go says the voice in my head—my hands will not obey

To be frozen in fear..crying out move, but the body won’t obey the head. I’ve been frozen, cried, had courage.
