Monotony

Same thing every day,

Walking on a blank plain,

Blank words from a blank face.

I dreamed of being something else,

But fell when I saw

Someone better than me,

Even though they did nothing.

I had such high expectations

So I never thought I was enough,

Jumping from shadow to shadow

Always beneath someone else.

Same thing every day,

Writing on a blank page,

Trying to make something meaningful,

But failing,

In my eyes.

I dreamed of trying so much harder,

But I never could stop being lazy.

Just because it was a little hard,

I did nothing.

I had such high expectations,

But I never met a single one.

I always sat,

In front of half done project after project,

All of them

Thrown away

All of my work

Gone to waste.

Same thing.

Every day.

I cannot be original.

I think of something I’m proud of,

Then realize where my inspiration was.

Same thing.

Every day.

Same me.

Same way.

Never change.

Never improve.

That is what I do.

One of favorite things about things about this piece is that doesn't rhyme. Which is so refreshing. I love the honesty it shares. Solid idea nicely executed.
