The Ticking Clock
Insomnia strikes again
Dec 29, 2024
Tock, tick
Tick, tock
How I hate the
Ticking clock
Does it tock,
Or does it tick?
How is one
Supposed to pick?
Does tick come first?
And tock come last?
So many questions
My mind does cast
Yet sleep I can’t
My dreams await
For all I see
Is a ticking fate.
Or a tocking fate,
If that’s a thing
Someone help
I want to scream.
Sleep evades
The sun will rise
But all I’ll feel
Is my twitching eyes
Tock, tick
Tick, tock
Oh how I hate
A ticking clock.
