Life is Okay


My life isn't bad

I don't wake up at 4 in the morning

I don't harvest crops 10 hours a day

I don't eat less that what makes me full

I don't worry about paying my bills

but at the same time

I wake up at 8 to work my 9 to 5

I work 8 hours a day in fast food

I eat whatever is cheapest on the menu

I don't have any money left for me 

so life isn't too bad

but it isn't too good either

my life is just okay.
