Lost of paper work
over trodden leaves on the office floor
you bought the life
when it still meant something
now is doesn't matter anymore.

Tired of looking at the night sky
and knowing there are things out there
bigger then you
that you know nothing about
and perhaps never will.

Sick of signing
the same tired signature
that you have signed to work
you are not proud of
for the past forty years;
yet too sedated
to move
to do something
worth signing.

Staring robotically at a computer screen
for more then seven hours a day.
Dying to go home
pick up the pieces of your life
the thought
that something needs you
makes you stay.

Aware that life
is passing you by;
smiling families walk the pavement
of the street outside your apartment
dripping ice cream
onto furry dogs
and walking home together
while you watch them.
Alone.

Good work. I really enjoyed this poem! (you use "then" when you should use "than") Grover.

(big angel hugs) And that is where we all should be but the ideals of society keep us away from, sweet friend, I pray all that can change and we can all be close to loved ones MUCH more often, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around and come back home" MB20
