I wake up early to start my day,
eat, shower and take time to pray.
Long before people come, I work;
once there, duties I dare not shirk.
The boss freaks and starts to shout,
undoing the order and causing a rout.
Customers want me to understand,
it is their orders, they want at hand.
Then lunch, a nap, I work a split;
back at work, dragging, but feeling fit.
Home; wife and kids, want their attention,
hit me with issues, but mine I don't mention.
Late at night, I finally can be myself,
music or writing, my masks put on the shelf.
Head on a pillow, I pray for a better way,
but the masks go on, the start of a new day.
