Paralysis
Do you ever have dreams where you know what you want to do, what you should be able to do, and yet you just can't seem to make your mouth move or your legs cooperate?
You know that if you could just move or open your mouth or do just the right thing, you could save it all.
Some part of you senses that you SHOULD be able to do this. But you can't.
Then there's real life. You watch something fall apart and think, "If I could just open my mouth or say the right thing or move my feet in the right direction, maybe this disaster wouldn't happen. Maybe I can still save it."
But there's only so much one person, one piece of the puzzle can do. And sometimes you know that trying to save it will most likely just make things worse.
So you stand there, watching things collapse, feeling just as paralyzed as your dream self, wishing you could fix it all. Sensing that you SHOULD be able to.
Knowing that you can't.
