Tick tock

Biological clock

So selfish of you to take so much time to decide

To say it is over

Don't you know there are deadlines

I must keep?

My plans have fallen apart

Nowhere near where I wanted to be

Each cut gets deeper

As time flies faster

Each time closer

But so much farther

Something wrong with this poem?
