And for a moment, everything was quiet— no... silent. Nothing moved, nothing raged, not a whisper nor wind. A moment where time stopped at nothingness, a perfect little moment.
This is not the pain of eternity It is but the pain of a moment A moment that will not last forever Nothing does Nothing can But it is in this pain we find what has meaning To avoid pain is to avoid what it means to truly live
I have been in a queue all my life Waiting in line Everyone else is waiting too When I feel like I am getting close There's another reason to let someone in front A reason to put other people first So I stay here Waiting Even when people cut the line Jump in front and force me back I tell myself They must just need it more than me I don't want to be selfish But selflessness is getting me nowhere
Only now can I say for certain I am buried alive How long have I been here Festering under this dark decrepit soil Will my body add to your density I suppose it's only a matter of time Escape is a futile endeavor No clear route to the surface Am I ascending to my salvation Or digging deeper into despair There are no bubbles to follow No sounds to be heard Nothing but darkness
