What Makes Me Tick

What makes me tick

                        Tick...

                         Tick...

The time ticking away

 

The lives of the creatures

                         Tick...

                          Tick...

In which they have no say

 

I have to help them

                        Tick...

                         Tick...

Like they did in those days

 

I had no will to live

                       Tick...

                        Tick...

They were my therapy with no pay

 

I need to help them like they helped me

                          Tick...

                           Tick...

                            Tick...

 

I'll do just that

Repay my debt

I'll  study hard

 I'll be a vet

 

Until that day comes

                          Tick...

                           Tick...

Here I will stay

 

Helping the shelter pets

                            Tick...

                             Tick...

They won't suffer this way

A peom for the animals who inspired my dream of becoming a veterinarian after helping my cope with the depression and suicidal thoughts brought that were brought about by my experiances with bullying.
