wrong place/wrong time

it was a pivotal moment.  you know the kind.  where time stands still.  i held my breath and waited for what was next.  my mind raced with pictures of what mattered most flashing at light speed.  my heart beat fast.  sounds faded and lights blurred.  what do you say?  how do you act?  how did i get here?  and how do i get out?

i am not who i once was and i am not yet who i want to be... but i know, more that ever, who that is and will work harder than ever to get from here to there... i dont want to find myself in that same place again.
