'Kicking It'


Shivering in the summer.
Tick tock tick tock tick tock...
Steel belt around my head so light
fastened oh so very tight.


Shivering in the summer.
Tick tock tick tock tick tock...
Cracking walls of reflection
with head and fists of tension.


Shivering in the summer.
Tick tock tick tock tick tock...
Shaking, cringing, devoid of willpower,
here I am, screaming silently in the shower.

Tick tock.
