Trapped (Bored Again)
It's three fifty three and I'm need of saving
Work is a bore
Same old tedious chore
Can you believe there are no windows?
My eyes despise this heat
Ever rising
Each day is stuffy
Man, I'm sweaty and sleepy
Sure
Artificial lighting makes a dull scene
Non-scenic scene
The same old seen scene
Every day for what feels like an age
Yet time
Stands
Still
Or at least that's the feel
The feel, wish I could
Feel the sun pat my back
Feel a breeze caress my reddened cheeks
Alas, no
I'm stuck, trapped and hating
Well
Not hating, just bored
Sick of this tedious chore
I can't believe there are no windows.
Five years of this very scene
This quiescent dream
of silent screams
And invisible tears
We trap ourselves in our need to survive
Make a living
To thrive
Out there at least
Beyond the windowless walls
To reality's light
Reality
The reality is I should be working
But I'm damned
Damn bored
Damn hot
Damn stuffy
And, damn it, sweaty too
I need a window
I want to fly
Fly right into the sight
And glorious light
of sky
Actual light, not synthetic
Right
But there are no windows
My boredom grows heavy
Filling me now
Anchoring me down
Down
Down to the depths of caring
Not
Not caring
More sharing
Of these thoughts as they come
These little snippets of my fact
Fact - there are no windows
Fourteen minutes past four
I can't be bothered anymore
