Why is this a concept so alien to me
Why does it scare me to the core
The act of shutting down my mind
To just be
Am I afraid that if I stop
If I am not running at full force
I will cease
I will be erased
I will be no more
Is there some other reason
That I can't rest
My mind
My body
My soul
Am I flawed in some way
That stops relaxation
Peace
Comfort
Quiet
Is it I am afraid to explore
My own reflection
Soul
Core
Self
Or am I afraid that stillness
Equals death
