Out of Control
One day, two days, three days,
Breathe;
One minute, two minutes, got three?
Maybe;
Even if I forever walk this world alone
four minutes, five minutes
Damn it! I will be stone;
One second, two more seconds,
Tasting eternity;
I will walk by and ignore the symmetry;
One time, two times
as many as it takes;
Until I get through eight hours
with no shakes;
One dance, two feet,
ignore the flushed cheeks;
It’s just the sound of my heartbeat.
One week, two weeks
as many moments as it takes;
Until my emotion’s control
I completely break.
