Wonderful Despair

Tick Tock
Tick Tock
Oh be patient!
says the merciless sounds.
The first and second hands
move in harmony with sarcasm.

The many bloodshot eyes of the clock,
sear a pleasant mark on my skin
as I watch until its hands
point the right numbers for me,
Oh time runs
ever so slowly..

Time is testing me,
wanting me to give up.
I keep my cool
my eyes follow the round path.
I seek the debatable truth
that all those who wait
will always receive.

I watch the clock watch me
waiting for me to give up.
Twelve numbers follow each other
my mind runs clockwise
time and time again..
Tick Tock
Tick Tock

But no!
No, I will not be impatient.
I will finish watching the clock
Soon there will be
no more clock-watching for me.

In due time
Tick Tock
Tick Tock
I'll get what I want..
and time will stop,
at that exact moment
I will stop looking at it
I'm done clock-watching.

Tick Tock
Tick Tock
Listen closer
to the sound of waiting,
behold the values it can share..
But do remember
opportunity mocks
with the sound of the clock..
