A riddle for you
I've been trying to solve this riddle today, think you can help?
a possible clue is 4390390600, although it may have nothing at all to do with the riddle
the spelling of "here" instead of "hear" in line 5 is the way it was presented, anyone have a clue as to the answer?
Tick tock tick tock
hear the clock?
It doesn't hear you.
Why doesn't it hear you?
The same reason they don't here you.
So stop. Stop What you're doing.
Even though everyone continues with that same thing,
You can't, you are different.
Don't worry, because you have 16 days,
but on the 16th???
You may have to stop stopping.
Unfortunately, this will leave you broken.
So the question:
Why will you be broken?

"When I was a child I spoke as a child I understood as a child I thought as a child; but when I became a man I put away childish things." I Cor. xiii. 11.
My guess is the riddle is about growing up the seconds counting away until you have to put away childish things and grow up it is not perfect, but it is the closest thing I can find. Many societies believe you are grown up at 16. I don't see how that would break someone but to some people leaving childhood can be inturpreted as such. It even starts out like a nursury rhyme and ends as anything but. Your number hint could almost be the seconds in 16 years but that is actually 504,910,815.8976 close but no cigar. Oh and I think here is probably just an error it is actually about your voice counting as less as a child.
