one moment
i had it all
everything
i wanted
in sight
in reach
one frame of time
not so long ago
i was so close
then with
lightening fast speed
reality struck
down a chatsising blow
temptation
"should not be satisfied"
"keep all that aching
locked up inside"
"society says turn the other way"
for a moment there
i was willing to listen
obey
but in the one
split second it took
to say 'society'
i was lost to reality
if society wants
something else
then it doesn't
need me
