A star struck gentle but as the clock goes tick tock and I open my eyes, I can’t understand who really I am. 

A solid heart. Like concrete. 

Staying hard to protect.

What really happened is what I can’t fantom.

Tick tock the clock goes again and I’m even worse than before. Hurting and harming those around.

Within seconds of the ticking of the clock, there’s so much damage done.

I was scared now. Scared of death! 

They would kill me and I knew it. But then again, the clock went tick tock and I became that concrete hearted soul once more. I didn’t care.

No one would dare come near a monster for they would be destroyed i realised.

For every ticking the clock took, I was a new person. 

Anger screamed, love was evident and harm was to come. 

My different personalities was what made me known. 

Happy, sad and ruthless.

Tick tock went this little thing again and I became as white as snow- with the purest heart. But when I stepped out, I saw the restrictions coming from people because of the havoc they knew I could cause.

“Away away” their eyes would tell and I’ll back off. 

The ticking never stops. I represent the clock. Time time! Time to go!

Tick tock the clock went...
