foul mood striking
frustration leaking in
i wish i could rise above the funk
once again

destiny evading me
mundane beckoning
cubicle people smiling and saying
it’s alright
join in on barbeque t.v. life

it makes me ill

their smiles are forced
surrendered to car payments
mortgages
health club dues unused
it has to feel empty
it would to me

either way i am miserable
either way i am trapped
so i trust my nature and hope
eventually everything
will go my way
