The beats of my heart
echo through my ears, thunderously pulsing with the conundrum
of the impending doom.

Is success guaranteed or is it not,
will it happen or will it not?

The beats of my heart
echo through my ears, threatening
to tear through my chest if I put it
through one more minute of
the lethal anxiety it was
trying not to let
bloom.
