The moment
That you think to yourself
Closing yourself up tight
Shutting out the outside world
All alone in that one moment
You think to yourself
Everything that ever hurt
Every pain you ever felt
Stuck on an endless reply
Over and over mocking you
Every disappointment
Every time you were scolded
Every hurtful word you said
Every hateful slur yelled to you
Every time you begged them to stop
Every time you begged to voices to stop
In this moment
All alone inside your head
You ask yourself
Is it worth it?
Is it truly worth it?
All the hate
All the anger
All the mockery
All the disappointments
All the sleepless nights
All the tears
All the silent screams
All of the hurt
All the pain....
Is it worth it
Is this worth it?
You want to say yes so much
But deep down you know you have to say no
Because in this moment you are not alive
You are not alive yet your lungs expand
Your heart beasts at an irregular pace
Your eyes roll from the back of your head
Your teeth chatter and biting your lip holding on
Your hands shake in anticipation of what's to come
You are not alive, yet you are not dead
In this moment we find the sweet nirvana
In between these two worlds of our own
Life and death
Is it worth it
You want to say yes so bad, but are forced to say no.
