Panic! (a poem about anxiety)
tick tock.
tick tock.
you’re running out of time.
you’re going to be too late.
tick tock
tick tock
the clock will never wait for you,
what makes you think that you’re so special?
tick tock
life is counting down.
the end is drawing near.
you are not out of the shadow’s reach.
keep running!
tick tock
can you hear the waters rise and fires blaze?
tick tock
he’s crawling from his lair.
the road has ended
the air is too thin.
Run!
Can you feel your muscles quake?
can you sense your lungs quiver?
tick tock
tick tock
silence
you are safe for now
morning came just soon enough.
