Clocks changed but nothing else does

Lost an hour of sleep today

Clocks went forward

And it was so dark today,

Waking up at 5am

Off to work to slave away again,

Though it promises to be a sunny one

I’ll be so tired when the afternoon comes,

Then home I will go wanting to sleep

Day after day and week after week,

It’s the same old morning slog

Get up early work like a dog,

Eyes are blurred by a sleepy fog

I am a small part of a chain, just a cog,

If I don’t make it then the chain may break

So each morning I raise and wake,

Get in to work and take my place

What a life I think, what a waste,

I could be doing so much more

But I don’t get the time but at my core,

I know it is about motivation more

But I used up all that to get out of the door,

At 5am just to get to work

My heart is heavy and my soul hurts,

From living this life of mundane drudgery

But I guess it is all down on me,

To find a way to find a change

But that’s kind of harder at my age,

Another excuse, I know it’s true

But when this is happening to you,

It’s hard to breakout and do something new

So I am left in this monotonous work life stew,

This is my life and it’s one that I rue.
