wake up, brush teeth, get dressed
make coffee, pack, double check.
the same routine every day,
the same day played out yet again.

the same email to the same type
of people who i know aren't going
to make a purchase. the same answers
to all the same questions.

going home at the same time,
to the same place i hate, thinking
all the same thoughts, wondering,
wondering,
wondering.

if this is 'life', maybe i'm not cut
out for it.
"reality is a place i would hate to live."

A perfect escape
away with the city's rush,
Stolen moment

Long trip is worth it,
the beautiful sea proved it
lose myself a bit.

Sun kissed while dancing,
listening to good music
with the wind's cold breeze.

Mind, body, spirit,
Lying on sands was really
a relaxing moment.

Was truly refreshed
by having peace from my own
struggles and thoughts.

Enjoyed life at last,
made every moment a blast
sad it ended fast.
Thoughts from my recent vacation. How I wish we could make our short work break longer than we should. Reality *****.

sitting blankly in this chair again,
feet planted firmly on this patterned carpet.
the air conditioner hums softly,
pulling me with the soft cushion of coldness.
exhaustion drags my eyes down,
away from the glaring lights of this screen.
voices droning on in the background,
smiles, handshakes, "how do you do?"'s.
the ringing phone sounds like one big sigh,
i suppose it's just another Monday.

— The End —
