A Day.

The pain in my head pounds away like jack hammer working it's day, 5:44pm as the energy escapes from my body and thoughts fill my mind, I fill as though I ran a marathon or a gantlet today, holding my head in my hands that silence inside I can not find. At 2:45am as the alarm sounded my eyes were already fixed on the day, as the showers water washed over me it cleared my mind, a brush of the teeth as I caught a glimpse of who I was today, early to work... I sit in wait I see the sun as it raises eager to find, One last breath as I close my eyes ending the burden of the day, just passed 9 as I race to erase what is still on my mind, I smiled, thought, even clinched my fist but I didn't laugh today, it was as if I was missing some thing and as I looked...it, I couldn't find, It's funny how we live from day to day, always searching for what we need to ease our mind, some embrace it others just want to get by today, then in a blink of an eye it's like we lost what was so hard to find.
