The Essence Of Who I Am

Everything has a thick layer of sadness on it tonight

Like butter on a piece of burnt toast

I am not sure if it’s just because it is 8:30pm

Or because the 4 bedroom house is quiet

Besides the TV playing in the background

It’s pretty lousy company

I still talk back to it

I tell it about my day

The characters laugh

Not sure if its from the joke

Or from my day

It doesn’t really matter

I still feel alone either way

M.A.P
