Mediocrity

Computer screen life in a daze
A mundane life to the outside Haze
Mediocrity and boredom a constant
Life started so great, but now disenchantment
 
I look back on my more youthful times
The giddy heights I promised on where I set my sights
I was going to rise, to be something special,
But now in my life I’m inconsequential
 
Footballer? DJ? Actor or King of the ring.
I wanted it all to rise and to sing
Alas, no. it fell flat to the earth.
My Youthfulness gone I’ve only grown in my girth
 
Up at six then to the office I go.
In a sea of grey, the day seems to travel so slow.
Would I escape if given the chance?
I would skip, I would run, maybe I’d Prance.
 
Tap, tap, tap on the keyboard. I file and report.
Blue screen all day long, I wish it would halt.
In my life I need fun, I need joy, I need Wonder
To sing in the rain and dance in the thunder
 
The day finally finished, on my way to my home.
completely invisible, just want to wander, just want to roam.
but no, not going to happen, not going to be.
I simply exist, just born to live in mediocrity.
