THE MOMENT
By: Jake E.
This is the moment
This is the time
This is the feeling
There's no reason or rhyme
Lost in myself
Lost in my head
Should I be alive?
Or should I be dead?
Never present
Never here
Full of hate
Full of fear
Sitting waiting
Sitting calm
Suppressing feeling
With mental balm
Don't show me the memories
Don't make me feel
Don't make me relive
Don't make me reveal
Can't explain what I feel
Can't say what I mean
Can't be more explicit
Can't show what I've seen
I feel from another life
I feel years gone by
I feel despair
As the echoes reply
Tell me I'm sane
Tell me I'm here
Tell me a lie
As long as it's clear
I don't understand
Most things that go by
But it's all got worse now
Since I learned how to cry
I have feelings I know
But I've kept them inside
Now I'm letting them out
They can no longer hide
Sometimes there're so strong
And always so real
Sometimes overwhelming
The emotions I feel
So cut me some slack
If it's hard to see
How to cope with my moods
It's a lot worse for me
This is the time
This is the feeling
There's no reason or rhyme
Lost in myself
Lost in my head
Should I be alive?
Or should I be dead?
Never present
Never here
Full of hate
Full of fear
Sitting waiting
Sitting calm
Suppressing feeling
With mental balm
Don't show me the memories
Don't make me feel
Don't make me relive
Don't make me reveal
Can't explain what I feel
Can't say what I mean
Can't be more explicit
Can't show what I've seen
I feel from another life
I feel years gone by
I feel despair
As the echoes reply
Tell me I'm sane
Tell me I'm here
Tell me a lie
As long as it's clear
I don't understand
Most things that go by
But it's all got worse now
Since I learned how to cry
I have feelings I know
But I've kept them inside
Now I'm letting them out
They can no longer hide
Sometimes there're so strong
And always so real
Sometimes overwhelming
The emotions I feel
So cut me some slack
If it's hard to see
How to cope with my moods
It's a lot worse for me
