I watch the clock
Half past ten
Up and down the room
My eyes race the floor
My foot taps the ground
Like a metronome
My heart beats so fast
I feel it will burst
I look back at the clock
His words are jumbled
His face is blurred
I stare at the faces
Around the room
White tiles, blank walls
I can’t sit still anymore

&quot;Life can suck, sure. Mostly though it&#039;s a blank canvas. If you want to see something brighter in it, you might have to add it yourself.&quot; -Patrick Stump, Fall Out Boy

This captures the restlessness and anxiety so well; as someone with ADHD I understand that too well. Great piece!
