The Moment

This particular moment visits me sometimes. I don’t like this moment. It scares me. I dread it. The walls close down on me. They corner me. I feel suffocated. Lost. Lonely. Helpless. Weak. And , I feel like leaning on somebody else. I just want somebody, anybody to lead me through this moment. I gulp. My mouth goes dry. My eyes go moist.

There are people around me. But nobody sees the tear hiding in my eye. I don’t want anybody to see it. Like the bird shot in the heart, I lose control. I can’t navigate the trajectory anymore. It’s a free fall.

I know it’s only a moment. It will pass. It just has to. I close my eyes and wait. I learn to enjoy the thrill this free fall brings.
