Tick Tock

Tick Tock Tick Tock

Sound of my life

Watching the life drainer drain my energy

Soon I'll be nothing.

 

Sitting in a cramped hell cell

Full of monstrous machines

And the devil himself

Watches from the very next one.

 

Tick Tock Tick Tock

The piercing sound grows even louder

As my time in hell increases

I feel my body losing its strength.

 

Feeling weaker and weaker

Watching the life drainer at work

Wondering when I will be free

Wondering when the devil will be pleased.

 

Looking down upon my clothes

Drenched in sweat and tears

The temperature is rising

Along with my fears.

 

Finally at last

The life drainer gives

And we all stand up

While the devil waves at all of us.

 

Time to go home

Free at last

I need a new job

So I can leave this one in the past.

 

 

Author's Note

This was actually when I was really mad at school, go figure I would write a poem huh? Lol I based this one off how some people hate their jobs sometimes. Though they may not all feel the same I was trying to catch the general topic :)

Amazing twist on the perspective of life. As I read this I pictured a hellish room of pain and flames, but the ending surprised - and delighted - me.

There are a lot of people that hate their jobs, problem is they keep them and treat people bad. 'I like this message it shows people they can find another job.

[Midday_Mystery]

This is a sad and depressing poem, accurate, but still depressing, everygood technical wise and a very nice flow. 100/100
