Each morning i wake up

to the blaring sounds of my alarm clock

children running up and down the stairs

feeling like I'm under so many mean glares

This isn't how it's supposed to feel

this isn't what life is really about

I'm simply alive

I'm not really living

i walk each day

like a zombie

fulfilling my assigned tasks

were is the joy i once sought?

has everyone really forgot?

I'm simply alive

nothing more

unless i start to strive

I'll always be pounding on a locked door

i know there's something more

for now I'm simply alive
