The clock strikes.
It’s 11:11
I’ve only got one minute.
The seconds are counting down.

60 seconds left,
To make the wish I wish to make.
To hope that time could grant what I want most.
To believe that something can happen from it.
To have faith that it will come true.

30 seconds left,
To organize my thoughts.
To think hard about what to wish for.
To stop all the noise going up in my head.
To decide.

15 seconds left,
To wonder “why am I doing this?”
To believing this is absurd.
To knowing that nothing will happen.
To feeling dumb.

5 seconds left,
To not care.
To care.
To give up.
To try.

Clock strikes again.
It’s 11:12
Did I make it?
