A lament
Everyday
I start underground
Hearing the footsteps
Of everyone else pound
I must get up early
To try to catch up
So that I am not
Left in the dust
Some days I make it
On others I fall
Sometimes I am assaulted
By nasty things that crawl
But whatever the circumstance
Or how hard I chase
I always start at a disadvantage
In the daily rat race
Dawn & Dusk
