(Poem) Click Clock

Tick tock. I tap
rhythmically to the beat of the clock. Time
clicks, and I
watch
the clock tick tock.

Life wastes away
with every second, but what do I do
except watch the tick clock?

Clock tock. I don't
talk.
People approach me, but I just
watch the clock.

Why do they talk? I don't
want them to talk, but the clock tick tocks,
and it feels like I need to talk.

Talk.
I need to talk.
Time doesn't last forever, and life doesn't care
if I don't want to talk.
Make friends, move on, live
without regrets.

Talk
so that I stop watching the clock
tick tock.
