The Clock Is Ticking Poem by Kyle Schlicher

The Clock Is Ticking



the clock is ticking
and i am bored.
2: 37am,
nothing to do.
sleep does not come.
i try writing but, the
words elude me
in the semi darkness
of early morning.

the clock is ticking
and i am bored,
2: 43am,
my eyes burn with
a lack of sleep.
i walk to the bathroom
and i look in the mirror,
i am aging right
before my eyes.

the clock ticks on.
