“Tick Tick Tick”

By: Sharee Holbrook

that’s the sound of life wasting away

I sit here thinking of the inevitable

what is the meaning of life?

Death

we try so hard to accomplish goals

in order to be masters of our domain

but we are nothing swimming in nothing

controlled by the Clock

wake up by the Clock sleep by the Clock

work work work

for what?

Nothing

Anxiety hits like a powerful tidal wave

and I can’t escape it

I’m late but I’m early rushrushrush
