Summary: This started off just by summarising work - but I guess it turned into a more "life in general" observation




I feel listless,
life just passes me by...

Don't know where I have been.
Don't know where I am going.

What did I do today, only hour's away.
It already feels so far away

Just a vague memory, no real remedy.
It just goes on and on...

To whom did I speak?
Just the same old faces again and again.

Faces of anger, faces of frustration,
faces of people wrapped up in their own little lives.

No one cares, no one asks,
People - selfish and into themselves.

What did I achieve today, I ask myself...
Anything of value? Did I change someone's life?

It just runs on, and on - like a record stuck in a groove...
Wake up - work - go to sleep, wake up - work - go to sleep

Nothing new, nothing good...
Just more of the same.

I feel spent, exhausted.
Nothing more to give, nothing more to offer.

I feel finished.
