Todays Nightmare

By up_at_five

Floating in a sea of vile mucos
movement hindered in any direction
aggonising over each breath
hounds close behinnd me baying
to make thier presance known
darkness has befallen my sight
blocking any light that might
fall upon my gloomy path
marching on not knowing why
following as a slave the
ticks of time as it
marches ever onward

    i feel this, makes me think of my job and how much i hate it... though on the contrary, maybe spell check, unless i am mistaken, mucos is actually mucus... simply an attempt at giving constructive critisisim
