Work day, sad day

mariannebmo

Laughter, talking, all around

I can not, will not

Hear a sound

Relentless talking hurts

My ears, your voices

Poisonous

I fight back tears

In the toilets I pause to think

Of all that's lost, and all that is

And every day my former self

Screams at me

Who are you now?

The work phone rings

And I flinch not

I loved life once, but have since forgot
