Oct 2009
Tick, tick, tick, went the clock,
Bang, bang, bang, went my head.
Never before has the world started to spin
So violently, until I tried to stand up.

I would lie there for days on end
Just thinking of everyone else,
What they would be doing now,
What they would be saying about me.

They believe that I was perfectly fine,
Just pulling their leg to stay off from that test.
But I wasn’t fine, far from it, what they didn’t
Know was that I was dying

Four months they said in that white room,
But that was over four months ago,
Now I just have to lie and wait,
Just lie and wait for the time to come

How long till then? A month, a week,
A day, an hour, or even a minute?
But it will come sooner or later,
And I’ll be ready, ready for it to come
