A Moment of Weakness

they become human
a blink.
a sigh.
a gesture.

when they think nobodies around, nobodies watching
the wall comes down, for a split second
a flicker, you can barely see it,
they think theyre safe....
or maybe they dont even know...

the weakness shows, not everything theyre "supposed" to be. Not everything we're supposed to be. Not everything we expect.

the inside, where nobody sees
it shows

one word changes everything
one word youd never expect
a word youd hoped youd hear
but dared not to hope for
a word youd never expect
at a moment youd never thought of
all the times your mind meandered
this moment is never imagined
never rehearsed, never thought over

the moment passes
no reaction
pretend you didnt see
didnt see...
what no one is meant to see

that secrect place, locked inside
gets aired out
opened
briefly
it must...
or you lose who you are
you become the expected

whos seen you
are you safe
that moment
that you dont even notice


have you seen?


who's seen you?
