Always the same Again This cyclic life Fuller than the sun, reaching further and yet its rays touch me merely for a second Hidden by clouds The dullest drizzle For miles my sadness sounds A different outfit everyday to cover the same dreary routine The same feelings poisoning my being, brimming over till it spills Spills over and never recedes Like gloom grows, the day slows Always the same A race of worker bees we've become, Ourselves to blame We work to live but never live Living for the future is to not live at all Should I pass through the clouds this dawn I would never know you or this life I'd never know consuming heartbreak I'd never feel the unrelenting wrath of grief The feeling of depthless love or shallow lust I'm covered in clothes to hide my skin My skin to hide my manifesting malaise Sick of the same and the everlasting train with no seeming destination If I jump will I see my dream Or will I be lost, lost to this life And it's damning merry-go round of everything acutely grey I wonder as I try to find air Are you the surface I can't reach, Drowning so fast It's as if I'm sinking The shackles of society have tied my ankles to rocks Drag down Never to breathe Never to see Only to drown Saccharine seconds relieve me temporarily but I can't ever feel free There is no thirst and I have no reason to give you as to why I get up each morning Get up just to see how far I am from feeling the sun still It grinds me into the dirt and cripples my will I want it to stop Again Never again But I haven't the strength for mine to end And so continues the heaves I breathe And the darkness I see Over and beginning again K.G
