Deadline

When I am floating away

I need a ceiling

In everything loose

That need to be bound

I am still reeling

Draw me in

I need a deadline

Something to frame this space

I want a finish line

A marker to say I have won something?

I live to know

That I thrive on the stress

Of not knowing I can make it

And a panic that ensues

When I am not sure of myself

Give me a test that shows me

So much more

Than a run-on sentence

And the liberty that as the best of me
