Mornings are the same,
Although they come to me in late afternoon,
Coffee brews the same,
A taste that arrives none too soon,
Dressing is the same,
I lack variety by closely planned design,
Colors are they same,
I’ve taken the darkness as mine.
Evenings are the same
Diet attempts to shed a pound or two
And still they remain,
Despite grand cooking the plain will do
Desire simply contained
Shut away tight on a shelve or two.

The nights are the same,
I can work at work without thought,
The sights are the same
Seldom is any excitement brought
And when it is near
Other concerned do what ever they ought
And I don’t go there.

I remain the same
Doing what I wish because I can
I remain the same
A simple solitary man

Solitary, but never simple.
Enjoyed the read, poet Gloom.

I enjoyed this very much. At first I was worried that you'd overdo the use of "same" but you didn't. Nicely done indeed. Cheers   - Ed

at least I enjoyed reading your wonderful poem if the life there was silently quiet.

Good stuff here, as usual.

Grimy floors and grey steel doors
cigarette breaks at 2 and 6
Weekend laundry and bars at 8
drive too fast, can't be late

good capture of dark and crummy worknights.

peace

To-day of past Regrets and future Fears..."

sounds like you are happy with the same

routine is a good thing I guess, but sometimes we need change when we feel like we're dying

(though change is hard)

good poem here, I can relate

A fine thoughtful 'write'!
[a celebration of individuality and
  the independent spirit; etc.!]

I am particularly fond of the ending!:

"I remain the same
Doing what I wish because I can
I remain the same
A simple solitary man"

serious applause!!

Not so simple... although solitary.
