At the end of the day…

You surround yourself

With noise and clutter

Distractions and people

And tasks to be done

 

Filling the day, you

While away the time

As you avoid the truth,

Keeping up the facade

 

But at the end of the day

When the night falls

There’s no one but you,

Nothing but your mind

 

And the place where you live

Is not always home –

It’s just an empty space

Where you’ll brood, alone
