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
