[ TT ] All your friends and family are slowly changing . They do n't notice the difference , but you certainly do ...

*Tick-tock, tick-tock* 
 -- -- -- -- - 
 
 Time is running out for them, 
 
 And I'm not sure what to do, 
 
 I think the handles on the clock are turning, 
 
 But I do n't really think they do. 
 
 I wonder if they ca n't move: 
 
 But it seems I'm the only one. 
 
 Pain, lots of pain, 
 
 But nothing can be done. 
 
 -- -- -- -- -- 
 *Tick-tock, tick-tock* 
 -- -- -- - 
 
 Now I'm panicking; my arms are sore from straining, 
 
 But it seems like I'm the only one complaining. 
 
 While they all seem to enjoy this scene, 
 
 I lay silent, itching to scream. 
 
 I miss you mum, 
 
 I miss you dad. 
 
 I miss you gran, 
 
 I miss you bad. 
 
 -- -- -- -- - 
 
 *Tick-tock, tick-tock* 
 -- -- -- - 
 
 The clock goes'*tick*' and they all look down. 
 
 It then goes'*tock*' and they all frown. 
 
 Oh-no! They're moving in synchronised motion! 
 
 Oh, well - at least they're not frozen. 
 
 -- -- -- -- 
 
 I do n't have a clue for what I see: 
 
 And I really do n't know what happened to my family... 
 
 But - at last! - as the night grows near, 
 
 I can see it becoming more clear and clear.

 **And the girl walks away from the three small graves**, 
 
 **Whilst her expression remains grimly engraved**. 
 
 **Laid bare on her face are the tones of love**, 
 
 **But alongside them are disgust and feelings that show who won**. 
 
 
 -- -- -- -- -- -- - 
 
 **It is unknown how the girl escaped her chains**, 
 
 **The girl of life, no struggle, no pain**, 
 
 
 **But remember this for the girl in chains**: 
 
 *Hate and fear can erase the pain*.

 First time for a poem. What did you think?
