Muscle memory

 Muscle memory

Sometimes it's hard to stay awake

When our bodies and our voices

Go into a route

That we have practised before

Saying the same things

Doing the same chores

And we smile

Because it is our job to smile

And be polite 

When we don't feel like putting on a show

When we want to crawl into bed

And cry

But life goes on

The clocks still tick

The days go by

And time

Doesn't stop for anyone

Even you
