“And your homework is…”
Tick tock tick tock.
Staring at the clock
while the teacher says their last thoughts.
“You have survived your first week in busi…”
Tick tock tick tock.
When birthday cakes
Get frostbite,
I relate.
When coins aren's used
For their rust,
I sympathize.
Once upon a time
I was a
Celebration
I lit up your candles
Every day,
there's a a knock on my door
tap on the window
voice in my head
says Go on
Get up
Roll out of bed.
Every day,
that ticking persists
Standing before you,
An endangered soul.
Mold with gold and once embodying the whole given.
And now
My Frail and lanky stature, stands before you
piercing every eye.
What makes me tick?
Is it the sound of judgeful eyes
or the cries of the inner soul
Being taken advantage of
Or not being appreciated at all
The wrong motivation
What makes me tick
Tock
Like a clock
Or like being poked with stick?
Being annoyed
With people making no sense
Keep talking nonsense
Wanting to be in a void
Sitting around the dinner table all gathered around
Absolutely nothing in the world can bring me down
Then I hear the sound of ice in her mouth crunch
Suddenly I feel like giving someone a punch
what makes me tick
I won't pick
and choose.
It's quite simply,
to put limply,
complainers.
"Find me a container."
"Aw really?!
"Yes, silly,"
"what? Are you lazy?"
What makes me tick?
The things that tick me off.
The loose hair that’s tickling the back of my arm
The last bit of toothpaste that won’t come out of the tube
My mind has seasons of its own.....crashes by stainless pressure
critical remarks of laughter that i dont find amusing
What makes me tick. What makes me tick. Life. Life makes me tick. The feeling of not knowing my tomorrow makes me tick.
