Tick, Tock Poem by Johnathan Todd

Tick, tock says the clock

as time wastes away

Slowly killing the dreams

that got me from day to day

The same dreams that let me out the cage

the same dreams that led the way to today

Tick, tock says the clock

as time wastes away

Slowly killing the drive

The drive I try so hard to hide

The drive I picked up when my dreams died

Died to the hands of the lonely clock

and all it ever says is tick, tock, tick tock...
