The Moment is Awesome
Sounds rushing by
The pressure
Builds
Heavy filth rising to the surface
Lead organs sinking
Anger, hate, disgust
Rising, building
Suffocating
Flash! Flash!
Breaking down
Down on the ground
It's quiet
Sidewalk hums beneath my touch
Coolness melts me down
Quiet
Caught in the moment
Between parting crowd and crushing anxiety
Weightless
I breathe
Thoughts muted
Touch unfelt
Hell drains away
I stand
World fades back in
Coolness of a silent memory
Touches my skin
Resets my mind
I walk on
Finish the day
Remember the moment
