Analysis of STILL
I'm still,, but it feels as if I'm moving very fast. I want it to be quiet but, the silence is too loud! At happy times, the sadness is overwhelming. I'm trying to open my mouth, but no words will come out I want to be angry, but, I can't. Furthermore, I want to jump up and shout ; my feet won't let me move. Moreover, I want to rest, my mind keeps drifting. Besides, I want to accept help but, I'm too proud to ask. Additionally, I want to cry out, my pride won't let me . I want revenge but avenges not mines. I want to have energy, but I'm restless and tired. Furthermore, I want to have motion, but I'm still as a tree ; only the leaves and branches can move. As still as I am, I can't do anything else but be still.
