Analysis of Another Day

Water surrounds me and all my senses dim

The sounds of muffled screams come from somewhere up above the rim

It's peaceful down here

Near the ocean's depth

I sink with the remains of what used to be and hold my last breath

My life held no meaning

I realize as it ends

My work behind the counter blended well with a trend

I always did the minimum, never did my best

Now I regret that as I go lay and rest.

The salt cuts at my wounds

And I remember a time

In the shade of a tree, it was noon

The prunes so dry and sweet

I remember this, calm and happy with no care in the world

I was the kid that sat in the corner alone

But still why, why was I the one who had to live this life

Could they not postpone my fate  

Maybe in a year or two I would be great, content, fulfilled  

or maybe I would still be the same, alone.

Water surrounds me, If I could go back, I would

Could I have lived a life, maybe had a wife?

I start drifting, no longer am I filled with panic

A calm settles over me and I done.

I wake from bed sun streaming in from the window, I still have another day.
