tick
tick
tick
time stands still and I feel sick
tick
tick
tock
will this waiting ever stop
tears
tears
tears
months of realizing fears
so much
on my
own
never felt so all alone
minutes
hours
days
in an unaccustomed place
words
ways
when
can my life begin again
high
low
lone
toughest time I’ve ever known
green
yellow
blue
trying hard to learn things new
thought this all would be a breeze
but it’s brought me to my knees
there’s a lesson to be found
but for now it’s not around
just this feeling of confinement
set adrift with no alignment
it’s just me here when I wake
dogs don’t count ‘cause they can’t speak
I know the end
is in my sight
it’s days away
so hold on tight
take a walk
release self-pity
parla italiano
explore the city
know the clock
continues to click
just be patient
tick
tick
tick
