~ A Rat Race ~

Can someone tell me what day it is
I've lost all track of time
I seem to be running around in circles
I think I'm losing my mind.

I start one task and then another
I never seem to get anything done
It's work, work, work all the time
I never get to have any fun.

I run from here and run from there
Like I have no purpose at all
I feel like screaming at the top of my lungs
I think I need a complete overhaul.

I'm really at my complete wits end
I don't know whether I'm coming or going
I think I ran into myself yesterday
Everything is so mind-blowing!

Surrounded by work that's never ending
I complete a task but three take its place
Right now I'm staring at these four walls
I've got to get out of this rat race.

I see no end in sight for me
I think I'll run away
If I don't escape from here right now
It's here I'm destined to stay.

No need to call the men in white coats
I've come up with a solution you see
I'll quit my job and walk out the door
You'll be lucky if you ever see me.
