A Day in the Life

by Phantom Lord   Jul 17, 2021


Through the clouds
The suns brings light
Giving false hope
That I can win this fight

Mindlessly I wander
Through the morning haze
Pretending to live life
Outside of this daze

As we break for lunch
I put on a happy face
little do you know
I'll soon leave this place

As I punch the clock
At quarter to five
I head home
To give it one last try

To the dark cold reality
To my empty abode
I'm sorry my friend
But it's time for me to go

As the sun sets
I raise the gun to my head
Please don't cry for me
Because I was already dead.

    This is a dark poem and I don't usually like this type of theme but the rhyming is good and I think it sends out an important message that just because someone is smiling on the outside doesn't mean that's what's really going on. That someone can feel dead and nobody notice is a warning to us all to open our eyes more and look beyond the smile. A thought provoking write. Milly x
