"How can I move forward if I don't know which direction I am facing?" -John Lennon

"This poem is the poem I am writing because we aren't speaking and it's making my heart hurt so bad that sometimes I can't make it up off the floor."


The clock on the wall 

ticks and ticks

Never moving any faster

Nor does it ever stop

The clock on the wall

promises that tomorrow shall come

Yet my heart pleads for the clock on the wall

to simply stop

Maybe reverse 

I've tried to break the clock

but it puts itself back together

Telling me that I shall wake each morning


The author's comments:

I wrote this a couple years ago when I had writers block and the clock on the wall was driving me insane with its ticking, so it helped me write and get out of writers block
