I blinked,
I\'m playing with toys,
running outside,
making noise.
I blinked,
I\'m in school,
learning new things,
obeying every rule.
I blinked,
I\'m more depressed,
questioning life,
my mind is a mess.
I blinked,
I\'m done with exams,
it was tough,
it was all that I had.
I blinked,
I\'m putting in the hours,
taking extra shifts,
consuming all my power.
I blinked,
I\'m raising my own,
thriving on their affection,
filled a gap in my soul.
I blinked,
I\'m a dam
commencing to weaken,
can no longer stand.
My eyelids are too heavy,
I\'ve lost the ownership
of my body.
I can\'t blink.
