Tick Tock

Waiting on the train
running late again
looking out the window
watching the rain
desperately trying to understand the exhausting pain
so nobody will know
and we'll all blend in again
Everyone has a mission
with a vacant stare
without a second glance
the doors open
we turn to the next page
the next chapter...
and we are back to the beginning
and the words are strangely familiar
yet there are things that make me wonder
just a sound
a thought
a word
a laugh
a smile
to realise what is important in our lives
to step off the train
to feel the rain
and everything else doesn't matter
and everyone else doesn't matter
and for a moment
there isn't any deadlines
there isn't any bills
there isn't any pain
and we make it back in time
to do it all again
