I couldn’t take it anymore
Bear the failure a second longer
Didn’t wish to define my life
In numerical measures
Quantifiable regrets
An unseen countdown
So I gritted my teeth
Placed my feet on the stool
Took a breath and jumped
Ripped the clock off the wall
Tore out the batteries
Grinned with relief
Stupid clock
Tick tock
Silent face
Happy place
