One second.
That's all the time it takes.
One second,
One action,
One sentence,
One word.
One.
That's all it takes.
One judgement,
One rumor.
One.
One, to set off the snowball effect.
One person,
One laugh,
One sneer,
One pointed finger,
One person to pin the blame.
One.
It all starts at one.
It changes a person.
Eventually they become that person.
When they are constantly told
Who they are,
How they are suppose to be,
What they are.
One action,
One is all it takes to start the chain reaction.
They'll never be the same.
One second,
Their world comes crashing down.
It just takes them 'til two to realize it.
And by the time two comes,
One is already gone.
You can't go backwards in time.
Can't go back to that one second,
And change everything.
You're stuck,
Regretting that one second,
One choice,
One action,
One sentence,
One word.
One.
