My

my days are full of challenges
i struggle to keep up to the robots
that surround me and never give up
i need rest, sustance, and levity
they only need more of the same
i think i've been chained to my desk
and like a dog i'm going crazy pacing
back and forth always in the same path

my nights are full of emptiness
the fans whirl making some noise
i don't, i just sit and stare
at the computer screen, a little
better then the one i spent all
day staring at, but the same
thing, i don't have anything better
to do, like a penny stuck in the bottom
of a purse, i never get used.

my heart is worn out
i used it to death
it's thread bare and down
to it's last breathe
i'm not sure which will
break down first my heart
or my car, i think it's a close call

my mind is a leaky faucet
i tighten the taps but there's still
a constant drip of knowledge falling
out. one day i'll awake to find
i've forgotten my own name
but can tell you my favorite tv show

my soul is seldom used
it would love to see some abuse
it languishes around
occasionally buzzing me to see
if i'm still alive
it's like that gnat you keep
swatting at but never flies away
someday i'll need it to pray

my body ... well let's skip that
there's too much wrong with it
to list them here would make
this a million pages long
i'm working hard to get better
but damn i love chocolate and cheese
chocolate cheesecake, yummy
