The Moment

By Joe Tidei

The Moment is a place
In a memory you cannot erase
Your back's against the wall
As you lose yourself in time and space

When all eyes are on you
We call this The Moment
And when opportunity passes by
You grab hold in order to own it

Will you climb to the stars
Or will you fall flat on your face
Will you reach new heights
Knowing that this is your fate?

Through all the adversity
Through all the blood and tears
This is your chance
To rise above our fears

It's the moment of truth
The culmination of life's battle
Will you keep getting knocked down?
Or will you get back up in the saddle

Chills creep down your spine
Your heart falls to your feet
It's become mind over matter
The Moment to become elite

Physically exhausted
Emotionally drained
This is legendary territory
Can you fight through the pain?

The greats define The Moment
The ordinary let it define them
They succumb to the pressure
As they drift to another realm

It's all the clichés
But none of the ones you see
The Moment is a mirage
Where one and one equals three

The Moment isn't real
It's based on your perception
But for those who rise above it
Your mythical status awaits allocation
