Static Feeling

Stuck and Frozen

By Nkem UtomiPublished 3 months ago • 1 min read

Stand frozen as ideas, visions, and possibilities
blow past and through you.

Unshakable confidence that your idea will change the world—
or is it just all in your head?

You are full of potential, but you can't shine this way
because the world is not your head.

You think you know everything, but life humbles you quickly.

There are people who can do it a hundred times better without effort.
They already boarded the train, while your ticket remains in your pocket.

Again, here you are—stuck.

The road, the path, is there, while your mind isn't.

What comforts and scares you?

Is it the dream you hold onto so dearly,
your light at the end of the tunnel?

Or was that the light of a passing train
you refused to hear?

So, what's the next chapter?
