Tick tock

starr_

At night the echoes of my thoughts haunt me

Reminding me there is an end and it will come

Laying there I think about my little enemy named anxiety

My anxiety is my captor, holding me hostage until I can no longer breathe

Anxiety soon invites depression into my life long nightmare

My heart beats soon feel like a ticking clock

I am getting older , oh no, yes it's true, I am aging

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

How long until the last tock ?

It's all I think about, tick tock, tick tock

Please stop, hush mind hush, no more!

Here it is, that feeling, my heart feels like it will explode....tick tock

I'm getting sweaty and I hear my husband say what's wrong!

Tick tock, tick tock, that's what's wrong

We are all ticking but never know when our batteries will run dry!
