In the Blink of an Eye

In the blink of an eye everything comes crashing in.

In the blink of an eye we dream. And in the blink of an eye the dream collapses. And we wonder if we made it right. Has it been ours to dream? Has it been true? Do we have to get it back or did it leave for a reason and we just got to find a new one?

In the blink of an eye we hope. And in the blink of an eye the hope dies. And we go running and spinning in a cycle of desperation. But have we forgotten what it takes to keep hope alive? Have we got tired of waiting? And then maybe it's just the way life goes, it just can't help testing you just to show you the value of what you almost left behind.

In the blink of an eye we love. And in the blink of an eye something doesn't feel right. Sometimes we laugh about it. Sometimes it's frustrating. We hate how feelings can be so tricky, how we don't understand a thing when we thought we had a full grasp on ourselves.

In the blink of an eye we feel strong. And in the blink of an eye we break down. We become so tired of having to fight that it takes the simplest disappointment to hide the last trace of strength we had. And all of a sudden it's the fall that gives us our strength back.

In the blink of an eye we change. And in the blink of an eye we look into our souls to find that they never did. Has it been just a phase of our lives? Have we failed to know the difference between who we are and the person we are, for some reason, forced to become? And perhaps we got lost trying to find ourselves.

In the blink of an eye we believe. And in the blink of an eye we question our faith. It's the voices in our heads. It's the never ending wonder of what the world is all about, how people are all the same yet so different, and how we have to deal with awful things and still believe there's a reason even if we can't see any.

In the blink of an eye we smile. And in the blink of an eye the smile fades. We look at our faces and curse our misery. What the hell happened to deprive us of even smiling? Has it been too hard or have we took it way too hard on ourselves?

In the blink of an eye we survive. And in the blink of an eye we die. And it's not the kind of death when we leave the world and go, it's when we stay in the world and go. We are there but while we are breathing, we can't feel alive. And nothing could possibly be harder than that.

In the blink of an eye we enjoy. And in the blink of an eye we suffer. And sometimes what hurts us the most is the same thing we can't live without. We somehow find comfort in the silent pain.

In the blink of an eye we inspire. And in the blink of an eye there's nothing we can say or do that could help someone to just get through the day. The same spot where we had so much to give has turned to an empty space. And you can't help but hate yourself for it. You can't help but feel useless somehow.

In the blink of an eye we think we know it all. And in the blink of an eye we wonder where the hell we went wrong. Was it our fault? And if it was, where would we hide from loss?

In the blink of an eye we are full of courage. And in the blink of an eye we are scared to death. We fail to realize that fear is just a friend. It means us no harm. And it's only when we get so fed up with the chains that we find the courage to do what's right.

In the blink of an eye we think about how in the blink of an eye things can change.

In the blink of an eye we are lost. And in the blink of an eye we are found.

Sometimes it's all about the blink of an eye...
