Alarm Clock
“F*ck this job!”, you yell to your boss as you quit your ridiculously boring job.
Your fellow employees cheer you on, as you walk
out
of the office
towards a better,
brighter future,
that you are just about to discover
before
I wake you up with my ringing.
You groan and tell me to f*ck
off as you hit me on the head.
Your face looks tired, an empty
shell of what used to be a human
Being.
Your steps are mechanical,
bones cracking like an old machine
starting up again, as you walk
towards the bathroom.
I hear the slow creak of the shower turning on
before it reluctantly comes to life.
The water turns on for exactly Ten
minutes.
again, again, again;
Every morning I see you wake
up and do it again.
You seem to
question if It is worth it
every night
when you go to reset me.
The long hours,
the same office, the same old job that
seems to suck the life out of you.
Yet you wind me up again, which
reminds me that you will never
tell your boss to f*ck off or quit your job;
Like my ringing every
morning, your life will always be
like a broken alarm clock;
Monotonous.
the same old
tune over and over again, again, again...
