Paralyzed

You know that feeling when the world seems to be crumbling beneath you, and you're just falling? But you're not. It's your legs. They've just gone fuzzy and numb and then it's like they've disappeared. And through that empty space where they were, your stomach drops, and your heart goes too. Your arms feel semi-detached, and your fingers move if you make the effort, but they don't really feel. And your head has gone silent, but not silent. Like the panic sirens have blurred into some kind of white noise, making it only seem like it's silent.

And there's this feeling coursing through you. You have to do something. You have to move. You have to fix things. Rewind time. Undo. Undo. Undo. But you can't. And that's part of the feeling too. You're just too tired to do anything. There's nothing to do. "Can't" winds through you.

Too much energy. And not enough at all.

Paralyzed.
