Trembling in a corner, deep within my mind

Watching as my hands move faster than the time.

I hear a scream,

a cry far away,

trying to ignore it

                --just another day

 

Smoke and dust fill my eyes

but I refuse to blink,

one moment of rest just may be my last.

air so thick with despair,

I choke and nearly cry.

I know better than to think about,

Or wonder why,

                --just another day

 

Pain near consuming

all I am and ever was.

Long hours working,

no rest for the likes of us.

Another scream, another cry,

the girl to my right,

a sympathetic glance as I mouth

                --just another day.
