"THE DAY i skipped work"

"THE DAY i skipped work"✂THE DAY I skipped work 

✂

✂✂

.... Suddenly I opened my eye,

First conscious move I made was to get my phone,

Of course, electronically we are bind, 

A small gadget that hold a lot part of us,

Searching for the date,

I skipped the reality immediately my body realises it's self of being alive again,

I picked it all together and celebrated my being alive again,

Celebrated on my knees with prayers of thanks given,

I rushed to the room that cleanse all dirt,

Washed it all off, the yesterday's scenario,

And run myself with the fragrance of a new day,

The hope and the opportunities yet to arrive,

but can be perceived,.

Gave me the energy to root the day of work hard,

Prepared I am,

But still I miss it all,

Coming out of my house and sighting my own car,

First thing I noticed was a flat tyre,

O gosh,

Some children hands print all over the body,

I knew it's my neighbours children,

But should I shout,

I never even practice that before or ooh wait may be I should knock at their door,

And explain what I saw,

But the questions will arise,

Like do you see them,

Please tell me which one among them does that,

Like the elder one or the younger ones,

I stood right there and i know of nothing to do,

Stood like a dog confuse to choose an owner,

Knowing which ever choices he/she made will be decided by his moves,

Even though he might move first to bark the person he doesn't like which is suddenly categorized as the one he/she preferred,

Anger arose,

Playing on my head the opportunities I will miss today,

The appointments on my table last night,

Or even imagine the day of today is Monday,

The myth that follows the need of good start up of the week,

I Stood to run, but can't move,

I wish to move but had nothing in mind yet to do,

Even though I thirst for sorry,

Sorry that is not enough for the sorry being of my sorry heart,

The day I Skipped work,

Was the day I believe I could do more,

Even though many other days I had the opportunity but embrace my laziness with procrastination,

The day I skipped work was the day I believe it could have being a better day,

The day I skipped work was the day I felt so bad and tag it on instagram "bad day" "waste another day " with the harsh tag ‪#‎couldhavebeingatwork‬,

Even though every morning I wake up I wish I wasn't working but have it all,

The day I skipped work was the day I believe I could have finished all the work of 354 days I couldn't complete all these while,

Stop deceiving your life, (self),

Stop being hard on things you cannot change,

Stop being moved by things u can't have,

Stop living in so much denials

Live Ur Right Day (LURD)
