Frozen

A poem

am I frozen
or is this
fear
numbness
apathy

what
holds me back
it’s like
I can’t break
free

did I lose
part of
myself
atrophied
from disuse

or did
I lose
the
ability
to trust

my body
agrees
an empty husk
animated
by rote

and now
we are
two travelers
on parallel roads
unable to merge
