Time To Clear

Time To Clear
An ocean of 
Water came crashing
Down on me in 
Until I was numb with fear.

Life was catching up with me,
Kicking me in the rear.

My anxiety was running high,
The thought of going outside
Again and doing one more
Service call gave me tears.

When I closed my eyes,
I heard all of 
My clients’ whining voices
And I saw them leer.

So far the idea of
Staying away is still clear.

Away from this lifestyle
I now steer.

Life was just getting out of
Hand and it was starting
To get too weird.

It’s time to press
Reboot to clear.

My alone time
Has been great
Now my mind is sheer.

I just needed
Many days to get away
For a while
And do nearly
Nothing 
But merely be me.

Time to clear.
