A Clockwork Life

Does your life ever feel like clockwork?
Like the gears in your head are just rusting away
Your spring is your motive that doesn’t exist
And though try to be different but you end up the same

One day your Crown will stop
And you Legacy will fade away
Because you were a normal cog
And let your potential Decay

So find the ruby inside you
And try something new
Spring to action
And create a new you

Don’t follow ideals
Spin your way
Let your potential out
And don’t be afraid!
