Lessons

My world has stopped turning
While my mind goes round and round
The world around me stands still
I want to be alone
But when I am my thoughts are too deafening
So I turn up the music
I turn on the TV
The hands on the clock tick by
Tick, tock
Tick, tock
I finally have a chance to rest
But rest will not come
Tick, tock
Tick, tock
Have you ever willed your body to move
and yet it will not listen?
Have you ever contemplated your to do list
and yet left it untouched?
Perhaps it's the heart in times like these
telling you to stop and allow healing to begin
Lessons
They rarely come easily or swiftly
