Count down

lonelyraccoon

Everything I'm doing feels numbered

Every thought is about if that was the last time

How many more times will I cut my bangs

How many more times will I do my makeup

How many more beats will my heart have

How many hearts will I break

Everything is numbered

And I'm counting down

I'm happy with life

But I'm also waiting for it to be pulled from under me

When will the clock stop ticking

.t.b.

    Questions we all ask at one time or another and put into poetic lines such as this after a health scare would make time more vital - -- writing it out will help and hoping soon the obsession will lessen - a moving read.

    Who knows? Life's scary because we never know.
    Best regards.
