Monotony

I’m off to work again
Sitting on the same bus
Shirt and tie
Faces starting straight ahead
Eyes not meeting
Everyone locked in their own world
Like automatons stuck in a never ending cycle
Same thing day in and day out
Lightened only by an evening by the telly
Looking forward to the weekend
Gone all too fast
Back on the treadmill
Time grinding on and on
On and on
On and on
Scream and shout
Wake up to yourself.
