The First Law

The First Law of Motion
An object at rest...
Remains at rest.

As an engineering student
This has been drilled into my head
And for physics problems I always remember

Sometimes I forget

I stay at rest unable to start myself
And at rest the always moving worries of my mind
Have time to catch up

They retard my movement further
I sink deeper and deeper into a hole and yet
I keep digging myself deeper with my inaction

The First Law of Holes
If you find yourself in a hole...
Stop digging.

Its hard to stop doing something
That you do without doing
But it's easy not to feel like you're doing it

So when you are just living
at rest
at the bottom of a hole
It's easy to forget you're living and just feel dead

Which brings me to the first law
That all should follow at all times

The First Law of Life
Do not forget...

You are alive!
