Untrue Truths

My beat heart beats
Like a ticking time bomb
Ready to deplete
Ready to compete
With all the other 
lonely hearts club bands
To try to withstand
All the pressurized unintelligent formal 
Untrue truths that measure my informal being among this simplicit surface I stand upon 
The pitter patter of my irregular heart
Sounds like taps when death finally does us part
