What to do when you know the inevitable is coming

It is only a matter of time. The pedullum swings
The long hand ticks. Minute after minute
The sweat forms on your brow in haste
As chicken to the feed on the ground
Your palms feel warm
Your fingers start to shake
Your leg twitches
In time with the clock
Tick, twitch, drip, tock
Tick, twitch, drip, tock
Your mind races and all you see is blurred
The mice in your head have given up on the cheese
The smell of guilt is all around
Your mind feels like a safe
Nothing in. Nothing out
Information like
Smoke on the wind
Uncatchable
See, smell, touch, nothing
See, smell, touch, nothing
Then something simple slips through
You offer a prayer, a plea, simple
Please help me in my need
Time stands still
And in the pause
A voice speaks out
Loving and comforting
Trust Me always
Trust Me always
