What Makes Me Tick?

What makes me tick?

Definitely not batteries.

Definitely not my heart.

What makes me tick?

 

My brain.

My brain has the motivation.

My brain has all the plans.

Plans I haven't even seen the process of yet.

 

No, really.

What makes me tick?

The motivation I mentioned.

That makes me tick.

 

Having a better life.

Helping my folks have a better life.

Letting my partner gain a better life.

Providing a safe place for my kid to have a better life.

 

Wait.

Don't get it twisted, okay?

I don't have a kid.

I'm speaking future-wise here.

 

I want that house i can call my own.

Two kids.

Two dogs.

My husband and Me.

 

That's my motivation.

That's what's going on in my head.

That's the plan I don't see the process of yet.

That's what makes me tick.
