pounding reverberating banging
fixing to burst through
hammering scolding whacking
there it goes
far far away never to be seen again
there it goes
once it's gone will it ever come back again?
how many times can it leave and never come again
how does it work

Ask ask ask

Tsk, tsk, tsk

How can you ask me how I work?
Why do you doubt?
I am here
But you forget
Cruising on with life pushing my broken pieces away
I pound to show I am here
I reverberate throughout your chest to show I am here
I bang on your ribs to show I am here
I almost burst through your skin when you think unnecessary thoughts
You forget I am here when you chase unnecessary things
So I hammer, scold and whack until you remember I am here
I am here
Always
