A Tick
Lately life's been tasting funny.
Like it's not quite right.
Like its gone bad or something....
Just a little bit off.
And I think that I've developed a cough.
Maybe I'm just getting sick.
I'll be ok I just need minute. A tick.
Not trying to make excuses.
Just feel like all of this is useless.
Maybe not every thought or feeling has to be so deep.
Maybe I'd feel better if I could just get some sleep.
Maybe I just don't wanna do this anymore.
Maybe if I could just get up off this floor.
Maybe if I just got some help or support.
Or maybe I might be able to get it all done if this life wasn't so short.
I just need a minute. A tick.
I swear I was just about to get up and get busy.
I'm just feeling a little sick.
No, please don't call anyone just stay with me.
Imma be just fine.
Watch you'll see.
Please hold my hand for just a minute. A tick.
Imma be fine I was just feeling a little sick.
I've just got this pounding in my head and everything is sore.
What time'd you say it was?
I just need a little more.
I was just gonna wash up and put on some clothes.
You'll have to excuse me for being indisposed.
Go on wait in the car and I'll be out in just a minute. A tick.........................................
