Tick Tock

The tick tock of the clock as the day comes to an end Until the morning comes and a new day begins Same old same day after day I don't know how to live any other way I am a prisoner trapped in my own routine But when I think twice change frightens me What to do besides succumb to my fears Days full of smiles with nights full of tears Tick tock of the clock as the day comes to an end Until my new found strength comes and my life begins
