My heart beats
At a constant rate.
I can hear it
And feel it.
Sometimes I wish I couldn't.

Don't we all? It feels as if our heart will give us away with its constant racket. You struck a chord here but I hope that you don't really want your heart to stop. I know this world would be worse off without you. Trust that little organ because as it keeps pumping all day every day it's doing the right thing.
But now, back to your 25 words of sheer amazement. Well I think that said it all. Your clear use of imagery captured my attention. Thanks for entering and best of luck in the contest!
