Panic
Life begins to count,
One, Two, Three,
Time begins to accelerate,
Four, Five, Six.
Thoughts in your head mount,
Seven, Eight, Nine,
A single phrase,
Ten, Eleven, Twelve.
Something inside snaps,
I lost count.
Small, weak breaths escape,
One, Four, Seven.
My words stop rhyming,
Two, Five, Eight,
Counting starts loosing shape,
Three, Six, Nine.
