Everyday Life

A thousand screams ring through the little idiot box on my chair

As I fling it across the air.

A blizzard chill devours my feet as I awake from sleep

Blind as a bat I find my way through a maze as a I do every day as I wake

And put on what I think are two of the same feet.

A flick of a switch, a beam of light as I start my day without my sight

A razor blade to my face and paste to my teeth

One leg at a time as I start my life on this journey in belief.

In auto drive as I go through life seeing things in Zombies eyes .

I do my duties I obey my laws

And all they can see are my flaws.

I get off work, but to my surprise, There's nothing to look forward to

There's no one in my eyes.

In this empty room, i feel no love.

Quite and alone I sit and stare at a place of white and despair.

As I bath in waters so warm I think to myself I'm all alone

I pick up that Idiot box and place it back on my chair

With the ringing still in my hair.

I lay down, close my eyes and all I can see are nothing but lies

So I lie and and think of things that I could have done and the things I won.

In my sleep, the only place where I'm not there to take up space.

Just to wake to a thousand screams and fling that idiot box through the air.
