Vigilance - 08/03/2021
Beware:
Roses hold thorns,
Apples have worms
You must be vigilant-
The siren is ringing,
The palms start tingling
Be constantly aware.
My chest begins to ache,
Brain shaken like an earthquake
Save me from this mess I made.
I try to be the hero,
I run myself to zero
Nothing is ticking,
But this empty clock...

Brain shaken like an earthquake
Save me from this mess I made.
I try to be the hero,
I run myself to zero
Nothing is ticking,
But this empty clock...

I could not agree with your author's note more. We need to rid our lives of toxic people.
