tick tock clock

the clock ticks
the clock tocks
the clock went tick tock like a time bomb
with around 10 plus days with baby
with about 20 odd days to prelims
with less than 100 days, comes the BIG A
with 3 months for the declaration of fate of the next 8 years
tick tick
tock tock
time's up, very soon
its time to be aware.

sometimes we hide, sometimes we run
but eventually it comes for us, it catches us and engulf us
this is it
no more hiding
no more running
we just need to face it
its here,
i can feel it
brace yourselves
less tears, more bravery
little boys and girls
grow up
its time to face the world, the truth, the reality
so little jasmine gonna step out of her comfort zone
take a big leap
saying goodbye to her boy at the gates
and face 6 weeks of lonely nights and days of mugging
just so to fight for a brighter future
saying goodbye to all temptations bit by bit
and be in the world of knowledge and books
just so to get a bloody good shiny paper after the BIG A
like a man pushed into a wrestling ring now,
it is fight or die
goodbye little girl, hello maturity and adulthood.
