Aware

It must be a wednesday
or a friday
or any day at all
for I am painfully aware of the world
that consumes me
But the aware
are few and far between
As for the rest
they may be aware of the day of the week
but not much more

Knowing

Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
