Day 2 Day

Story of my life and the same

chapter keeps on rewriting itself.

Alarm clock wakes you up on

the daily, same time, same rhyme.

Arising to no light, both

outside & in your mind,

click on a light but still

are blind to what’s around.

Counting down the days but

each is the same, with a sip

of coffee & no one to blame.

Skies are bright as the day,

but cloudy days follow you, nothing

but the site of rain, falling upon you.

With each step you take, the

deeper it gets, setting in

you so you never forget.

Miss your bus, late for work,

phone battery died; working overtime

to forget the pain lying ahead.

Darkness stalks you back to your

empty house as its dinner for

1 again, rain coming down,

tapping on the window, providing you

with the only company you can get.

Brush those teeth so no one can see that

smile & get yourself ready for bed,

a new day is about to start; set

your clock and fade away, who says

this is not a dream from the start.
