2 seconds
that's all it will take
to make me
or to kill me
to help me
or to disappoint me
two seconds
that's all I'll need
to know my destiny
in the space of 2 seconds
the future will open upon to me
I will cry
I will laugh
Will I cry of pain?
Or will I cry of joy?
Will I laugh because I'm happy?
Or will I laugh cynically?

For two seconds
I will be trapped
Will I close my eyes?
Will I faint?
Will I survive those two seconds?
Years of planning
Months of sacrifice
Weeks of correcting
Days of classifying
Hours of worry
Minutes of fear
For two seconds

Such a short period of time
Almost insignificant to others
This one will be sleeping
That one will be showering
But I won't be
Not during those two seconds
And maybe I won't
Ever again
After those two seconds.
