I love the acceptance I have found on HP. A working class poet is something to be.

Tick tick tick tick tick
Clock endlessly ticking, clicking in my ear,
On and on, will it ever stop?
Tick tick tick tick tick
Seconds pass, slow, barely moving,
Louder and louder, practically screaming now.
Tick tick tick tick tick
Rolling over, flipping pillows, kicking covers,
Nothing, not a thing, is working.
Tick tick tick tick tick
Eyes squeeze shut, then open, drooping,
Won't stay closed, won't let me disappear into darkness.
Tick tick tick tick tick
How long has it been?
Hands moving on the clock, going...backwards?
Tick tick tick tick tick
My dreamland awaits,
Yet all I can do is daydream about those far off dreams I want to dream.
Tick tick tick tick tick
My mind is my prison,
My cruel captor, my mortal enemy, my unending undoing.
Tick tick tick tick tick
I must be going mad, utterly mad,
Stuck with this insomnia inside my blanketed asylum.
Tick tick tick tick tick
Hoping my tears will bring exhaustion,
But I'm just left in an ocean of hopelessness.
Tick tick tick tick tick
Staring at the inhuman neon numbers
That have come to rule my night, my life.
Tick tick tick tick tick
I try anything, no matter how cliché.
But not even counting coats of snowy wool can help me now.
Tick tick tick tick tick
Please lift me from this retched curse.
I'd take 100 years of sleep over no time at all.
Tick tick tick tick tick
Why won't my thoughts stop? Please!
Leave me be, leave me alone, let me sleep!
Tick tick tick tick tick
Yet they still run on, never-ending,
As the clock tick ticks away to the beat of my heart.
Tick tick tick tick tick
Ba bump, ba bump, ba bump, ba bump, ba bump,
Clock and heart in time together, intertwined as one.
Tick tick tick tick tick
As my heart slows, coming to a final stop.
I am grateful, and the clock fades off once and for all.
Insomnia gone,
I can sleep at last,
And I'm drawn into another world
Where my dreams become reality
And sheep frolick through fields
Along with me for all eternity.

Tick Tok
Jaide Lynne
May 2014
There is a clock in my house that is always ticking.
Tick tok tick tok
Sometimes, when I am all alone all I can hear is that clock
tick tok tic tok
hypnotizing me, transporting me to a place within my mind, a place that used to be beautiful and tragic, but now I can't tell which one anymore.
tick tok tick tok
I have began to count the ticks each one reminding me of the time I have wasted
tick tok tick tok
Each second, minute, hour of my life that I thrown away.
tick tok tick tok
I swear if this goes on any longer my heart will begin to beat in the metronomic rhythm
tick tok tick tok
Is no one else bothered that each tick represents one less second until death?
tick tok tick tok
Is this all just in my mind? Am I the only one who is going insane from the--
tick tok tick tok
I can’t sleep, I can’t think, all I can hear is ticking
tick tok tick tok
Its like a time bomb in my head
tick tok tick tok
Waiting to explode
tick tok tick toc
Is it me or is the clock getting louder...
tick tok tick tok
THE **** CLOCK!
tick tok tick tok
IT WONT SHUT UP!
tick tok tick tok
TELLING ME THAT NOTHING LASTS
tick tok tick tok
REMINDING ME THAT TIME IS PASSING AND I CANT DO ANYTHING TO STOP IT!
tick tok tick tok
I pull out the batteries
tick toc tick----
