Life of Existing

A LIFE OF ExISTING

I wake up to sleep
I sleep to wake up
I am seeing I will also be seen
Interestingly we eat to live
We are alive cause we have eaten
Am at work but will soon be home
Am home but will be back at work

Friends I will mingle with
Friends will we part
Friends will we meet again
Fights of no gain will be there 
Fights will go and we will return to   Communication 
Do you see any thing strange? 

Ain't we all in a big circle 
Round we go 
Round do we get back

To that pillow of rest
 And flat we transition 
Whether temporal or permanent 
The familiarity is the same

Why should I settle
They say it's better to resemble
But I can't just be ok
With an ending so clique
I want to wake up to sleep too but also experience the difference of both

To have it all or fail in the end
There has to be a way out there to defy the circle...
There has to be meaning or this is all for nothing...
