One Journey, Two Lives
[First post, feedback appreciated]
7.30am, haul myself out of bed
sluggishly prepare for the day ahead
‘Too early in the morning’, I lament
Feeling oh so brain-dead
7.30am, the springs bounce me up
enthusiastically get me some breakfast grub
mmmm, a bacon and cheese sub
out the door to the fast-moving metal tub
Seemingly hundreds of people pack in
the everyday armpit stink
of stressed out workers with hair wearing thin
“It can’t get much worse” I hope more than think
I strike up a conversation with a kind businessman
he didn't go to university, but he clearly wasn't living in a van
I didn't have to time to ask about his life plan,
his ambition, drive, but he was a pleasant gentleman
A 20 minute walk follows, I love this walk
In my mind, I walk, I rhyme
In my mind, I talk, I write,
Ah yes this 20 mins, all mine.
A 20 minute walk follows, I love this walk
In my mind, I walk, I rhyme
In my mind, I talk, I write,
Ah yes this 20 mins, all mine
And then I get college, swipe my ID
Stroll lazily, to history, floor 3
The teacher bangs on about Nazi Germany,
This feels like WWIII
And then I get to college, swipe my ID
Bounce gleefully to History, Floor 3
My teaches lectures me, my smile beams eagerly
Not a care in the world, not one worry
Please, someone set me free…
Carpe Diem…
