Today, A Poem about life as one author sees it.
TODAY I WOKE UP
I woke up today
and got ready for work.
A typical Monday
with Summer's heat
and humidity among
the bright sunshine.
A TYPICAL DAY
A typical day with no purpose
just routine.
You go throw the motions
as though you are a robot.
It is what you do,
just get through the day.
THE CLOUDS BEGIN TO FORM
As you do your work
you look out the window
and the sun is gone.
The clouds have come
and the day became
dark and dismal.
SO ROUTINE
You stare out the window
of your office and see
the mist and rain
as it approaches.
You know when you
leave work it will be raining.
Yet you do not care.
HOME I GO
You get ready to leave work
and home you go.
There is nothing waiting for you
you feel so alone.
Where are the flowers,
the sun, the happiness?
You know it never used
to be this way.
THAN IT IS NIGHT
You open the mail,
cook your dinner,
and put the television on,
mostly for sound.
You feel so depressed.
How did things get this way?
Is this what life is?
Questions you cannot
answer, as you look out the
window, the sun now sets
and darkness has come.
ANOTHER DAY GONE BY
It's late and you need to go to bed.
Tomorrow you go back to work.
It will be Tuesday.
But for you,
it is just another day.
Another day to get
through.
Just another day.
