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
