In the Blink of an Eye
(Don’t let life pass you by)
Life can change in the blink of an eye;
an 🧊ice cold🧊 truth we simply can’t deny,
even when we would honestly prefer the lie…
Oh, how quickly things can go completely awry…
And, how easily we can allow our souls to die…
But even when we all we want to do is to cry…
When we find it too daunting to continue to try…
We CANNOT allow life to pass us by.
We owe it to ourselves to fly…Remaining grounded, yet, soaring through the sky.
So,
When hardships leave us questioning why…
Don’t lose hope. Just modify.
Life CAN change in the blink of an eye. However, we CANNOT let life pass us by.

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.
