The Interview


It's time to make your decision

nevermind those googly dull eyes 

eyes front

        tick-tock-tick-tick-drip

   is it suppose to rain today?

Focus.

Sweaty palms, your heart beats the Tommy Gun, 

setting a new world record

      tick-tick-tick-sigh

just

   admit it

You're afraid to face your

                                        fears

but that's part of

                      growing up

rejection, denial,

                 fear

tick-tick-tick

   FEAR

tick-tick

                                   own it

tick

now

tock.
