Workoholic

An alarm wakes me up
My closed eyes beg for sleep.
I flinch as I look outside
Another bright day has begun.

The day moves on fast
And I happily flow with it.
I dread an empty home in the evening
When my soul weeps for more work.

I stare at the snappy television
Mindlessly following the news
About people I donâ€™t care about
Listening to different point of views.

My computer is my soul-mate
One that fills my endless emptiness
Being there for me all the time,
Helping to pass my life, so pointless.

I grow restless, trying to find a reason
That would make me feel busy
Iâ€™m scared of time I might lose,
Iâ€™d rather lose this thought in my work.

Longing to be someone in a park
Happily wasting his time, I go melancholic
I confess to my all-knowing heart
I am a god-forsaken workaholic.
