It feels like I’m a ticking bomb about to blow
The beep of the timer quickening
As the beating of my heart starts to grow
And the clench in my chest starts tightening

50 seconds left!
The air in the room ceases
As though it was a theft
My mind going through numerous images

30 seconds on the timer!
Tears stain my face like glitter
My voice barely above a whisper
Anxiety really is a monster

5 seconds!
My body shaking uncontrollably
As I’m stuck in a fit of extreme anxiety
I’m a ticking bomb
And I just blew up
