The clock

As I watch the movement of the clock a feeling strikes through my body.

A feeling that I can't shake off.
It haunts me.

The clock continues to move.
Second by second,
Minutes by minute.

I wish it could stop for one minute. Just for a minute. So I could keep moving with it and not after it.

I am tired of running.
Why can't I keep hanging on?

The weird feeling keeps growing inside of my body. I want to throw up and scream. As I stare at the time it feels like I am running out of breath.

Why can't the time just freeze?

The room begins to be filled with the echoes of the clock's movement.

As every seconds passes, it feels like I am falling.
Slowly.

I am falling and I can't control it.
I can't see the end.
I can't see the ground beneath me.

Suddenly everything goes silent. The darkness slowly creeps around my whole existence.

I close my eyes as I wait for my body to hit the ground.

The problem isn't about the fall.

The fall doesn't scare me.
I am not afraid of falling.

The feeling of the ground is the one I am scared of.

I am afraid of what is waiting for me after the fall

Might be a lot of grammar mistakes, but this will be a good training for me to strengthen my vocabulary and grammar in English😵‍💫❤️
