Paralyzed

It occurs overtime

The thoughts circling in your head never reach the half point of a doubt

You are so sure of yourself

and with that power you can do most anything

It isn’t until something small occurs

a 1 on the richter scale to your tiny, little world

the smallest of lightning bolts strike your heart

And under all of this unpredicatable weather in the air

your enormous smile begins to shrink

and crack

With each shift of the tectonic plates

and each storm of rain

you reach the point of no return

It occurs overtime

The thoughts circling in your head stretch over the line of doubt

There is not a day that goes by where you do not question every little thing you do

The power you once had long ago has been replaced with kryptonite

All of the small things that have occurred

now amount to much more than just  the Richter scale

Your world has advanced beyond your control

The bolts no longer cause any pain to your soul

they have paralyzed you

The sun does not remember how to shine

Even the rain refuses to fall from the sky

The muscles in your lovely, sorrowful face

fail to pull up the corners of your mouth any longer

none of this is your fault

you did not even see it coming

For as I said before

It happens overtime
