It’s like a ticking of a clock The time in which it doesn’t knock It drowns the lovely into crashing Until my throat is gasping. Every worry finds a way, Until it’s the only thing to say, or think, or spend my life, irrationally it’s my strife. Days used to feel light, now all my energy is in flight. How does it feel to be at peace? For I worry about how to please. The ever consuming that delays my blooming. Will I ever be free? Will it ever leave me be? It wraps me like a snake, squeezing me until I break. I lay my head to sleep But the thoughts make me weep. For I wish for quiet As I feel my head riot, Is this feeling forever? Or will it ever sever?

Thinking, Feeling, Sinking
It’s like a ticking of a clock The time in which it doesn’t knock It drowns the lovely into crashing Until my throat is gasping. Every worry finds a way, Until it’s the only thing to say, or think, or spend my life, irrationally it’s my strife. Days used to feel light, now all my energy is in flight. How does it feel to be at peace? For I worry about how to please. The ever consuming that delays my blooming. Will I ever be free? Will it ever leave me be? It wraps me like a snake, squeezing me until I break. I lay my head to sleep But the thoughts make me weep. For I wish for quiet As I feel my head riot, Is this feeling forever? Or will it ever sever?
