Self Assesment
My mouth is dry,
my heart seams to beat
out of rhythm
in sick thuds.
I have the sensation
the sky is about to fall,
secrets crackle
like static electricity.
I am secure in my sanity
the truth has set me free,
of course, I had doubts;
who, in my position,
would not ? .
(maybe I should drink less coffee)
