In a Moment's Time
I took one moment
to sit back and remember
pieces of trauma i could only ever begin to dismember
that i once tried to make sense of
i no longer was defeated by them
I took one moment
to sit back and try
to target the now lost feeling i found
that i resided in when i'd say i was down
to find that i did not feel a single tear in my round eyes
when i should've
i took one moment
to realize the pain i buried myself in
was no longer a black stone wall in my piece of mind
blocking all of whats goof from my longing eyes
i took one moment
and now i know
i escaped that fall, despite my design
i see now that my actions resent who i used to be
i see that the stone walls removal was the missing piece
Just one moment
and that was when i saw
every night id spent dragging my hand along the bare wall
attempting to explain something i could not explain
i'd made peace
The one moment
i could see
that my lifelong band aid
healed the inside of my wounds
so they were no longer so deep
