Tick…Tick
Creeping up, stealing fun away
Tick…Tick
Creeping up, stealing laughs away
Tick…Tick
Creeping up, stealing joy away
Tick…Tick
Creeping up, stealing love away
Tick…Tick
Creeping up, stealing sanity away
Neither here nor there
Stuck in a place that feels surreal
A place where there’s nothing I can do to make the hurt and pain go away
A place that I have no control
A place where my physical being wants to jump in, make it better
Incapable of such simplicity
My hands cuffed behind my back
All I can do is sit back, relax and attempt not to stress or worry of the days slowly drifting away
Time ticking as my brain sits within my cranium like a ball of mush
Memories continually fade away into the forgotten past
Thoughts sometimes twisted up like a pretzel
My head ticking down to zero about to explode any second now
At times feeling like I’m flying high above the sky
No one able to help
No way to speed up recovery
The sulci ball of mush in control
She has no mercy on me
Currently, life as I know it has been abruptly put on hold
What seems like an eternity won’t be I know eventually there will be an end to all this madness
The feeling of helplessness is enough to drive anyone mad
One cannot truly understand what it’s like to walk in another’s shoes until they have walked in them themselves
Tick…Tick time is-a-ticking
