Anxiety

Tick tick tick tick
That stupid clock won’t stop
It goes and goes and keeps its pace
I hate that stupid clock
Tick tick tick tick
It every moment pushes me
To start what I have stopped
That stupid clock please stop
Tick tick tick tick
If only the battery just died
So it couldn’t remind me how I’ve tried
Without this clock I’d already be done
If only I had the time

I wrote this because it's entirely how I feel in procrastinating and I feel it's pretty relatable. I didn't intend to to give it a solid song-like beat but it kinda happened and sounded neat to me, so I kept the rhythm going, adding upon the beats in each stanza.
