Repetition

Over and over
Again and again
Echo, echo
Reiteration

Throwing a ball
To and fro
Taking a walk
Away we go

Busy work
Filing files
Nighttime clerk
Stocking isles

Same ole same
Everything
No change
To cause pain

Yes life is full of repetition. There is a certain rhythm and comfort to repetition. however if we look closely things are never truly the same. God is in the habit of repeating himself but no two snowflakes or flowers or people are the same. I enjoyed your poem.

I sensed a lot of high-strung vibes coming from these few lines. Those last 2 lines struck very deep.

I like how you wrote this, it's like rapid fire and gives substance to the repetition of the day. Beautiful work.
