My recollection of this condition

Happens to be more than what you think I can remember

Time proves to be a bystander

A tower always hovering…

A shadow constantly over us…

Tick tock, Tick tock

Tick tock away

You seem to think

At least once you somehow mentioned

The power you seem to have of this relationship

Tick tock, Tick tock, Tick tock

All I can hear now is what the clock says

It’s only a matter of time before I let loose

Only a matter of time…

Tick tock, Tick tock

Tick Tock away

I’m no longer that girl

You can’t tell me what to do, what to think

I’m my own person

An Individual

Tick tock tick tock

Tick tock away

Time is passing

Soon you will tell

I’m no longer that weakling you can so willingly push around

Tick tock tick tock

I’m now strong enough to stand

Tick tock tick tock

The time’s a coming

I’m ready with my plan

Tick tock tick tock

And now the minutes have come to an end

Here I am

Right where you want me

You call my name

But this time I turn around and go the other way

I hear you screaming my name…again and again

Yet it’s no longer enough for me to stop this change

Tick tock tick tock

Tick tock away

Time’s tower is no longer hovering over

The shadow is gone

For now I’m on my own

I can see the daylight

I can handle the world at my own expense

I don’t need someone to tell me what I need to do

I’m in control of my own life

My time with you is through

Tick tock tick tock

Tick tock away

The clock has stopped

Or is it broken?

What does it matter?

I did it; I’m free

Now let’s go find that person I want to be

In my poem I made the 'tick tocking' of the clock in bold. You may wonder why towards the end I changed it to italic. Well, it's b/c the clock is gone. The shadow is gone. There's no longer this hovering. Daylight can be seen. Therefore, the heaviness and darkness is gone.

Hope you like it. And by the way this is not from personal experience. It's an idea I got after watching a movie. However, I hope it can maybe be inspirational/helpful to those who have personally experienced something like this.
