A Dive Into My Mind

One Moment

One Moment,

That's all it takes to ruin a fine day,

One Moment,

That's all it takes to pull you back.

Back to the dark side,

Back to the memories that were once pushed aside,

Aside to the farthest depths of your mind.

Back to the hurt, betrayal, and rejection.

"It's all okay! This is fate guiding you on your adventure,"

These empty words you tell yourself provide little comfort,

For in your heart you know you could never have it all.

Happy Smiles are like makeup plastered on your face,

They act as a cloak to hide the sadness behind every word you speak.

Sure, it might not seem that way,

Helping others is an escape from your own problems.

"They're not worth it,"

Few more lies you tell yourself.

But what is fate if you aren't happy with the outcome of it?

Is your life really destined to be that way?

You feel like in the end it's all your fault,

As if you're the one who brought it upon yourself,

You're the one to blame.

All because of one moment.
