Automatic

wake up hit the clock 
everything is automatic 
everything is moving 
like a clock a vicious cycle 
spinning to fast to keep up 
we are faded shadows seeking life
emotions standing by our side 
deadlines print stress 
limit our script 
inspiration in the form of a smudge  
feelings never to be judged  
inspiration as seen 
in the shimmer of our eyes
obscure like in a dream 
desire can seem so obscene.
