Just Like That



And just like that it's gone.

That moment, that fleeting second

When everything felt right and nothing felt wrong

But just like that it's gone.

That time has passed and suddenly

Everything feels wrong and nothing feels right.

You can't get a grip.

It's like nothing is working out for you.

But let me tell you something.

It will.

Maybe not now, but soon.

Be patient.

One day everything will fall into place

And before you know it

Everything will feel right and nothing will ever feel wrong again.

Because it happened.

Because you kept going.

Because you never gave up.

Because the fire inside of you burned a heck of a lot brighter than the fire around you.

Because that fire didn't burn out.

And just like that

That fleeting moment is back

But it's no longer fleeting.

It's remaining, withstanding, and ever-present.

And just like that

You'll never feel like you're on the bottom again.
