Clocks and Bombs

I realized earlier today I am the definition of a time bomb. If you think about it, your body is comprised of several clocks, all running until a certain time when the batteries die. These built-in clocks determine when your hair will turn white, when your memory will fade, or even when you fall in love. There are others that determine how long your heart will beat, how long you'll stay awake, and even how long your life itself will last.
But it all has to end, just like all clocks run out of power soon enough.
The reason I'm saying this, the reason I'm scared, is because at the moment it feels as if my clocks are slowing down. Not only that, but there's a time bomb hidden in my heart, and the slower my clocks become, the faster it ticks away. I feel both desensitized and so sensitive I could burst.
Is everyone else's time bomb like this? Or was mine hardwired?
I guess I won't find out till I find the clocks that match mine.
How's that for the riddle of the day?
