Acknowledged feelings inside, but they won't be retraced
Because in a moment, that's all you have...
A split second and you never guessed it would be gone,
So you hide...Thinking it'll last forever,
And emotions such as happiness, hurt, anger, and love seem so surreal
But happened to be the only thing you feel when it's cast upon your soul
Forever... was never meant to last...
Which is why you only have now, but isn't "now" all you need?
Not to satisfy all your needs but to supply them with the right amount of food
To feed and humble your heart.
Fulfill a small dream, a moment to scream, to collect your thoughts
To enjoy ice cream on the couch with family and friends
Reminisce on something you were taught
Imagining that the world ended right then....
Would you be pleased with your last or would there be something missing?
Take advantage of it but never take for granted that moment...
Birth is given, a book is written, ideas are born, love is made, liquid prayers flood
Smiles appear, hate is created, thoughts are forgotten, a novel is burned and life is taken.
In the darkness of a moment... Yearn
Strive... Aspire for more than desire
But in that same moment
Fulfill a broken promise, step forward, be honest
Express, invent... Instead of just suggesting become a suggestion
Because in a moment... that's all you have
A split second.
