Repeat

You wake up every morning and drink your tea.

You take the tea bag and place it in the garbage can.

You eat breakfast, you lock your house,

you descend some stairs and climb others.

You share the same space with other people you don’t care about,

but are forced to work with.

You eat some quick lunch. You scribble a few things on a paper.

You stare into a screen. You wish you were taller, fairer, skinnier,

more self-confident, less undecided.

You stare out the same window avoiding work.

You get your things. You leave. You look at your feet while you walk.

You look at other people you pass by.

You climb some stairs and descend others.

You get home. You put your coat on a hanger. You wash your hands.

You eat dinner. You stare into a screen again.

You read a few pages.You have trouble sleeping.

You wonder why you wasted time in high school.

You eventually fall asleep, only to wake up at 3 a.m. from a bad dream and go to bed again,

but it won’t be the same.

You wake up tired and beaten up.

You, one day, eventually, die.
