waking up
brushing teeth
taking pills
driving
talking
eating
leaving
sleeping
simple tasks
completed each day
happening so fast
without thought
without drive
without change
simple tasks
distract from the world around
buzzing
whirring around me
I am caught in slow motion
everything seems at a standstill
or I am moving so quickly
that it only seems to have slowed around
I am too caught in my flow
to notice the simplicity
the beauty
the difference
I am too caught in the flow
to just stop
and live for the moment
and sometimes
that is what scares me most of all
