I daze; I listen; I am stiff
My lips dare not move
I am far too comfortable here

A billboard is slathered on my face
Laminated
It says "GO!"
I meant come... but they are hopelessly gone

One's perception of me is
Coldness fogging their warm surroundings
Too quiet for conversation

It is how it is
Silence
