At The Office

I’m staring at my computer,
It’s staring back at me,
Some say we live in different worlds,
Still, we share a lovely relationship,
Eloquence without words.

Around me, people run in all directions,
Motivated to work hard all their lives,
No time to merely sit and think,
As the climb the crowded ladder of success.
Often they ask me why I sit and stare,
Why my life is out of focus,
Why I don’t seem to care.


Me, I don’t listen,
To the advice that they force upon me,
And still, a blank screen stares avidly,
Who would have guessed it cannot see?
