The Deadline
Processing the pain The emotions that rain Sending trouble everywhere There, and there and there The river flows She knows That the flow will expose What’s hidden right under her nose For what will be Will be Patterns born from the family tree Even when she pleas and says please She carries the emotional pain When it rains She feels the drain The blood running through her veins Decisions come hard Only when her neck is pressed against the glass shard In her pursuit of deadlines The world fills with crime Anxiety creeps The closer the deadlines creep But she’s frozen in time Praying for half time She needs to go step by step Fill herself with motivational pep One by one She will get the job done
