time kills us all

every moment passes us by; a whirlwind of complexities. never knowing when it will slow down so as to absorb a moment of simple bliss.
finally, a sea of calm overwhelms us, leaving a moment to ponder. grazing over the "what-ifs" and hungrily consuming the "how comes".
pieces to this puzzle we call "life" remain scattered in shapeless forms. internal screams are constantly muffled by our own insecurities. words remain unspoken on the tips of tongues as fear overtakes our souls.
many nights are spent pulling thick blankets of sorrow over our faces, searching for something to keep us safe. we awake to the bright yellow star outside our window that dries up our daily tears and brings us yet another day to contemplate our hopeful years.
gingerly rolling out of bed, we dread the next few hours to come. scrubbing away the filth from the previous day, we attain the closest thing to perfection that we know. pasting on smiles an bright eyes, we draw our swords in preparation to strike fear into those who try to break us down.
hearts light as feathers, consternation weighting us down like bricks; the days will continue rolling whether we want them to or not.
keep your cameras ready.
this might just be a moment to remember.
