Great job. I liked your use of counting to 18. It was very well written and I liked the rhyming very much, especially when you rhymed "routine" with "18". Very original. Good job! My fav. stanza was:

"18 seconds will go by
and your life will slip away
18 seconds of pain
where your tears will have to stay."

It was a very good way to start the poem! Great job!
Love always,
