Tick Tock

Here it comes.

I can feel it.

Boiling up inside of me.

I'm about to lose control.

Muscles are tightening.

Mind ain't thinking.

I'm losing my grip trying to crawl from this hole.

The pressure is mounting.

Answers can't be found.

The clock is ticking.

It's counting down.

Tick tock.

Tick tock.

I need more time.

There must be a way to stop this clock.

Get a grip.

Can it be done?

I'm about to slip.

This can't be fun.

Time is about to expire.

My eyes can no longer cry.

I feel like an assassin for hire.

But it is I who is destined to die.

It's over.

Times up.

The clock can't   tick tock,                       tick tock,

                                 tick tock,                       tick tock


tick                      tock                                    tick                                             tock



        tick                                                                                        tock......................SILENCE

    Eurgh, very creepy... but I guess when time calls, there's no escaping the hands of death... I like the layout of this, eerie but very relatable to some who have contimplated the action itself. Great song too.

    Nice imagery, made me nervous like a panic attack (which means it did its job pulling me in). Nice and frantic, would make a good up tempo grundge riff.

    Cliche
    Honestly, this is very cliche with highly forced rhyming. The colloquialism of "ain't" is honestly distracting.

    This is certainly a rush of emotions and images, of which I love. This has power, but the cliche theme and rhyming just hinder what this poem could be.

    Nice job overall and good luck.

    it feels rushed....which, I am assuming is the point.
    I like it for that reason.
    A wonderful piece all in all.
    Thanks for entering.
    Cheers,
