When you sharply stare at nothing but midair Unseeing into the particles of space, When you let your thoughts drizzle down upon you In spite of the mess that you are a part of, When you recap your life till yesterday Those haunting memories you keep thinking of, Smiling at some, skipping the ghostly ones Moving restlessly and touching yourself; These five seconds of blankness When you stare at nothing but midair Can either build you up stronger than before Or tragically destroy all that you are You know the odds, you know how to win over your thoughts But you play with the loudest of your emotions anyway.
