That’s Enough

I woke up already tired

I sat there a minute
before deciding anything


My feet hit the floor
and I didn’t rush

I’m standing here
longer than I meant to

Nothing felt urgent
enough to move for


The room stayed quiet
while I caught up

I stayed where I landed

The clock moved
without my help


I’m still standing here

This is where I am

Nothing’s moved yet


I checked the room again
nothing had changed

My hands stayed empty
on purpose


I took a breath
and let it go nowhere

I stayed with the pause
longer than usual


My body stayed put

my mind wandered

I felt the pull
and didn’t answer it


I noticed my breathing
then stopped counting it

Time kept going

I didn’t follow


I’m still standing here

This is where I am

Nothing’s moved yet


The room kept its distance

I felt the pull
and didn’t answer it


My shoulders dropped

nothing else did


I let the silence
finish its sentence


My feet stayed planted
without reason

I waited for a signal

none showed up


I stood there
like I’d arrived early

The day hadn’t asked
for me yet


Nothing pointed me forward

I let the room
finish waking up

I stood without bracing
for impact

I didn’t take a step
just to prove it


I remained
between steps

on purpose


I’m still standing here

This is where I am

Nothing’s moved yet


I stayed
where the moment left me


I stood inside the pause
without naming it

The air moved past

I didn’t join it


I’m still standing here

this is where I am


nothing’s moved yet


and that’s enough
