Sun gently burns my skin as I walk down the street
Surrounded by art, I wish I had more money.
Stepping inside, the smell of used books kindly welcomes me
I eagerly await my escape into alternate realities.
Insomnia, keeping me up all night, all day
Tossing and turning, wishing the world would fade away
Staring at the ceiling, my stomach grumbling
The lack of sleep always seems to make me hungry.
Dark, early, Tuesday morning, my alram clock sounds.
Wind whistles, blowing tree branches against my window.
Opening my blinds, I expect to be blinded by morning light.
But instead I am greeted by rain and clouds.
Everyday is the same routine
Wake, work, sleep.
Nothing new, nothing different
Nothing stands out in this mechanical world.
Death, murder, rape, hate
...
