Just Killing Time

Aren't you tired yet?
It's a lot of work
being you and
being me.

Can we rest now?
Take a break
from all the
chaos.

More and more
it seems like we're
just killing time
softly slowly
putting in the
hours it takes
just enough effort
to squeak by
without strain
without having
to deal.

I know the
joy of life is in
the struggle
but sometimes
the burden
is unbearable.

Sometimes it takes
everything we have
to get up get moving
get through the day.

Let's take a break from
life, just you and me.
We'll lay back, relax
into the emptiness
and just not be
for awhile.

Aren't you tired yet?
