I want to be Ben...

I want to be the character.
Who stops time to look.
To watch. To draw.

I want to be the person.
Who can control time.
When it stops. And starts.

I want to be the artist.
Held between seconds.
Seeing. Drawing.

I want to be the insomniac.
Escaping inevitable sleep.
Awake. Always.

I want to be Ben.
Surrounded by all.
But alone. Silent.
