It beats so fast
sitting in my chair
like tomorrow has already come
and I'm a week behind.
It trembles under my skin
like dragon beards candy
slowly being torn apart
and I'm trying to sit still.
It compresses so tightly
trying to breathe air
like my spirit is trying to fall out
and I'm barely keeping it inside.
Yet I couldn't tell you why it races.
My heart,
My muscles,
my throat.
All I know is that no matter what,
that finish line, is nowhere to be seen.
