Stand still 

This may hurt

Stand still 

Do not blurt.

–

Stand still 

Do not move

Stand still

Trying to soothe.

–

Stand still

Adjustments are hard

Stand still 

In this regard.

–

Stand still 

Hold your breath

Stand still

Feel the breadth.

–

Stand still 

Is my creed

Stand still 

Follow my lead.

–

Stand still 

Life gets worse 

Stand still 

That’s our curse.

–

Stand still

Take pause 

Stand still

Retract your claws.

–

Stand still 

This is a test 

Stand still 

It’s for the best.

–

Stand still 

Your cross to bear

Stand still 

Life isn’t fair.

–

Stand still 

Don’t react

Stand still 

Call off the attack.

–

Stand still

You will achieve

Stand still 

Just believe.

–

Stand still 

It isn’t the end

Stand still 

You’re not alone, my friend…
