Waking up everyday at a decent time possibly on little to no sleep
Rushing to eat something that’s good for your body and easy on the wallet

Attempting to make it to school or work on time
Trying to smile and keep a social composure the entire day
Deciding to skip lunch because you want that extra money
Taking those extra hours of overtime when your coworker doesn’t come to work knowing you have to get by somehow

Coming home to eat alone
Microwaving the left overs in the fridge because you’re too tired too cook something on the stove
Watching Netflix until your eyes burn yet you can’t seem to fall asleep

And everyday you wonder
Is this what we are supposed to be
Lifeless obeying mindless zombies
Where did we come from
Why
Why are we here
Everyday thinking to yourself if only you could find a way to change the world
It’s that endless cycle
That everyday motion
And the constant wonder and confusion
Wondering whom you’re supposed to truly be in this word

Goodnight universe
