Chasing life

Beep beep, beep beep 
And so it begins
Rise and shine, fluff up my wings 
 
A stroll to the shower, to wake me up
Then running late leaving half a cup
Busy roads stuck in a jam
A look at the time, there will be an angry man 

“You’re late, your late”
“I know,I know”
“It wasn’t my fault”
Wish I could get up and go

Watching it load, another day at the screen
Phones ringing, bad manners, I just want to scream
“A jobs a job”  they say. I’m luckier than most 
But is this really it, I dream of the coast 

work should revolve around life
Not the other way round
I know we need it for food and bills
And to have two feet firmly on the ground
Is this it I’m so bored 
I feel no freedom
Just a robot bought

Ongoing work for little pay 
Bills bills bills
Staring at a black screen everyday 

Just a number, in a big mans pocket
Full control over my being, I feel like a docket 
I want to enjoy the world and feel the earth
I want to be more just a number 
I want to know my worth 

Please don’t think I’m being ungrateful
I’m aware I’m lucky than most
So for now I’ll shake the stresses away and still dream of that coast
