To say how you feel
To see if it's real
You have only
60 seconds
To give yourself up
Permanently close up?
Only 60 seconds
To right your wongs
Make more mistakes
Create a new song
To write about what you wish you could've done
Pray to the morning sun
Breathe one more breath before its gone
You have 60 seconds
To tell us all goodbye
To finally die
You have 60 seconds
To laugh
To cry
To say your last words
60 seconds
The clock is ticking
Round and Round
Your muscles twitching
Pain is heightened
Or eases slightly
60 seconds
60 seconds
60 seconds










***dedicated to my nana because towards the end of the poem I had a very de ja vu like moment about the two of us and a discussion we had. Love you***
