That Moment

It's that moment,
When you think you're fine,
That everything is sublime,
That you're living you're best life.

Surrounded by friends,
The talking never ends,
The conversations go on and on again,
The same good morning,
The same hello,
The same problems,

It's the classes,
The work,
It piles up and spreads like wildfire,

It's the wanting to focus,
Wishing you could,
But all your mind can think of is,
What am I not doing,

It's the moment when you are,
The mom,
The therapist,
The keep it all together,
All in one go,

Then you go home,
You're on your phone,
Everyone's a mess,
One complaining about school,
One about parents,
Then there is one trying to end it all,

It's the moment,
When you play the saver,
The hero,
The negotiator,
All to save this person,
That you've never met,

It's the moment,
When you're all alone,
No one is on the phone,
No one is calling,
Everything is quiet,

It's the moment,
When you hear song,
See that video,
That just makes you break,

12 am,
Room dim,
Only the LEDs will see your tears,
Cause this is where they stay,
Locked away,

You sob, sob, and sob,
Until your eyes are too dry to blink,
You feel to shaky to move,
So you sit in your room,
In all your gloom,
Knowing you will suffer this pain alone,
Cause all of it will stay,
In that moment.
