I Quit
The sky’s a different blue today The city wears the colours of rain. But my work-sodden eyes see nothing, Just the numbers clicking through my brain. It’s been a while since I’ve really seen. My routines are set in stone, My world’s just my cubicle, And I abhor my phone’s ringtone. Even the last trip I took I saw through my camera’s lens, Because if it’s not on Instagram I’m not part of the latest trends! Not anymore. I can’t live like this, With Facebook as my world window - Clicking through in secret envy Like an embarrassing shadow. I’m going to reclaim my life (And ditch my email connections!) See the world face to face With just a bag full of possessions. I’ll live the simple life, Filled with old-school romance. Thank you, ordinary rainy day, For splashing me out of my trance.
