WRITING OBSTACLE
Submitted by Amber A
Turn a mundane activity like household chores into a heart-pumping, action-packed tale!
Existing
Deep in life
There is something called existing
It doesn't involve talking, listening or performing
It's not watching something to pass time,
Not even writing or making art
Simply being, quiet or singing
Standing in place, laying or dancing
It's quite a hard hobby to achieve
Doing nothing, while feeling everything
Feels like a calming night
With chills all over you
Existing teaches you a lot of things
It touches your heart, sometimes stinging,
Sometimes so full of love that doing nothing turns into the most overwhelming, nostalgic, freeing activity
I can't imagine life without existing
I can't imagine not being able to stop and doing nothing
Out of the mind, thoughts and fears,
Sitting down to feel the ground below,
Or to breathe the air always around us
An experience that leaves you full
Because you need nothing to live
You only need yourself and a place to be
You know the love you've always searched for outside?
I suggest you sit and search for it in your heart
I swear it's there,
Sometimes so hidden it takes time to find,
But always, always there with you.
