The clock is ticking;

As I wait for you to open your ears to me;

As I wait to lay my heart bare in front of you;

Well, not really;

I have always said,

That I've grown ready of any predicament,

But I'm still scared;

Of how you'll see me,

After I let go of the words swarming my head for weeks.

I apologize in advance:

*I really just had to say it.
