Self destruct

The self destruction begins
push people away, close off and hide today
cant let anyone see me this way
as I pay off all of my sins

The countdown ticks, clock close to zero
feeling anxious, panic hypnotises
brain just blankness, as the tension rises
I cry out for a hero

Charcoal darkness falls, light gone
vision taken, no way out
this time I'm really going down, try to shout
the countdown strikes one

Only seconds remain, fly by so fast
need to save myself, no one else I can ask
to escape this fate, brain takes over the task
as the final seconds tick past

Ten. Nine. Eight. a thought, a possible escape chosen
Seven. Six. Five. just one chance must rush to survive
Four. Three. Two. just one last push, I strive
One. through the door, jump take cover, before the explosion

Mind clear, set free, can now begin to cope
the flight to escape, my fight to win
the countdown, a part of my brain, within
my panic subsided, anxiety tamed, for now I walk with hope

Thanks for reading.
Kyle.
