The Street

Dragging my feet down the stark grey street

Desperately in need of sleep

The buildings dark and looming 

Endless fog, thick, bleak and cold

A snake entwines me, a suffocating hold

I trip, I fall and hit the ground

An alarm rings, its constant annoying sound 

Don't trust the hand reaching to me

Been there before, won't stay

Not worth it, useless, they'll see

I'm ok. The untrue words I say 

Another day on the stark grey street known only to me
