Lisa Santos Poet Free verse

Tick Tick Away

Seeing the time tick away

I wonder if this is what I live for

If theres more

To this .

 

When will the clock cease to exist

 

I consider so much

And its so much.

 

I see it sometimes

That I could be....

 

Moments from paradise

almost there

 

Just let me go

Let me be this way 

I'm nuts today

 

A temporary insanity 

Is what I plead

 

I’m not made of perfection

I can crawl and bleed

I can yell at the  top of my lungs….

I can cry myself to sleep

 

That time is not today

I suppose.

Hm, surprisingly, I have

a bit of courage

 

Put off breakdown til some

other day..the voices say.

 

I contain myself well

For you perhaps.

And I wonder with preservation

With lack of consideration

Oh that something

 

Something has to break through 
Break through the hard of me
