A Day in the Life
My eyes crack open as the sounds of three alarm clocks fill my apartment. I'm tired. I'm cranky. I want to go back to sleep.
I hurl my legs off the couch and hobble to the bathroom to pee. I wash my hands and brush my teeth. I look at the face in the mirror and tell myself that today is the day. Today is the day I'm going to turn it all around.
I turn off the faucet and walk into the kitchen, reaching into the cabinet for my pills. For the past several years I've been taking over-the-counter heartburn medication to stave off the burning in my chest caused by years of smoking and eating unhealthy food. A swig of water makes the pill go down easy and suddenly I'm wide awake. I look at the clock and realize that I'm late again.
I rush around the apartment, throwing on my clothes and gathering up the usual stuff: cell phone, lighter, cigarettes. I'm out the door and into my car in a flash. People have dubbed it the "Blue Bullet" because in the morning I'm always flying up the road in a panic to get to work on time. I'm usually fifteen minutes late for work, and my boss is always on my case about it. I vow to go to bed earlier as I get caught behind a bus, cussing at the traffic and trying to wipe the crust out of my eyes.
I get to work and sneak back to my office. I breathe a sigh of relief when I realize that he didn't see me come in late today. I fire up my computer and enter my password. The day has begun.
I spend the day doing busy work. I spend the day making small talk with my coworkers--who are all twenty years older than me and in a different reality altogether. I spend the day wishing I was somewhere else, wishing it were the weekend, wishing...hoping. A sigh of relief escapes my mouth when the clock strikes four o'clock.
I speed through the drive-thru and buy another meal from a sack. I promise myself that tomorrow I'll start eating healthier, but today I need this to fill the void. I am alone and scared and tired. I feel like I've lost all hope of living the life I wanted. I feel like the dreams of my childhood have subsided and all that left is an empty blackness of living a life settled for, carrying out the whims of my father who pushed me into this career. I hold a pity party for myself at fifty miles per hour and it's all I can do not to cry.
I step into my apartment and all is quiet. I flip on the TV as I walk past and go into my room and change out of my sweaty clothes. I look around my bedroom and throw my hands in the air.
"One day all of this will be yours, son." I say out loud to nobody.
I walk out to the living room and sit in my chair. I fire up my laptop and wait for everything to load. I open the browser and immediately click open five tabs. I fill each of those tabs with the sites I check on a regular basis, rotating back and forth between the ones that stay most active. I fill the internet with my thoughts. During a slow moment I set the computer on the coffee table and go out to make supper.
If she would have been faithful, I wouldn't be alone right now. If she would have been faithful, I wouldn't know what it's like to try and fill the emptiness that perpetually eats away at my soul. If she would have been faithful, I could see them everyday and not just on the weekends.
I don't know who I am, but I know what I wish I were. I don't know where I'm going, but that doesn't stop me from barreling down the wrong track. I only know sorrow these days. I only know emptiness. And tonight, when the lights go out, I will spend my nights praying to God to deliver me from this hell. Will he ever answer? Will he ever look down on this poor soul and have mercy?
When I'm done supper I go back to my computer. I flip on the TV and it plays in the background as I surf the web. I'm looking for an answer. I'm looking to be an answer.
I click the link and there it is. His words are inspirational. His message is firm, but his tone is warm. He invites men like me to step up and take charge of their lives. To go out and climb mountains. To go out and swim rivers. Be a man! He shouts. Stop being a supplicator. Take charge of your life and build your own world.
The message hits home and I find myself in tears. This is my day and my life, and I hold the keys to the kingdoms I have built. The walls come crashing down around the sand they were built on, but there is one thing I know I can do: I can get back up and take another step. I can rebuild my life from the foundation. I can be that man I wish I could be. I can have the life I wish I could have. From this moment forward, I vow to find myself again.
It's getting late, so I shut off the computer and lay on the couch. I find something I can watch on TV so that I don't have to be alone. I close my eyes and pray for a better tomorrow. As my eyes flutter closed, I wonder if tomorrow will ever come.
