POWERLESSLY

Powerlessly

I stand in silence, still as stone,
Watching life, but not my own.
The world moves fast, a rushing sea,
but I am stuck, just powerlessly.

The winds of change blow strong and wide,
yet here I stay, nowhere to hide.
I reach for dreams, they slip away,
like fading stars at break of day.

I want to shout, to break these chains,
but all I feel is silent pain.
I long to fight, to take control,
yet something heavy grips my soul.

In moments lost, I sit and stare,
wishing I could go somewhere.
But still, I wait, just standing by,
Powerless as time goes by.

But in the stillness, I will see,
a strength that lives inside of me.
For even powerless, I'll rise,
and find my way beneath these skies.
