Clocks
February 27, 2013
I am like a clock
Slowly winding down
Every faint tick
Is a moment lost
When I could be
Free as the wind,
Wild as a mustang
Tick, tick, tick
But I’m stuck at home
Laundry
School
Family
Tick, tick, tick
It’s slowly trickling through my fingers
Time lost
Never to be reclaimed
Tick, tick, tick
It won’t stop ticking
The clock in my heart
Telling me to do something,
anything.
Tick, tick, tick
But I have to ignore it,
It’s not time yet.
It’s not time for me to rise,
Not quite yet.
Tick, tick, tick
