Same old same old

Same old roads,
same old homes.
I wander these lonely roads
with the light flickering on
and off
like dying heartbeats
and fluttering eye blinks
and wish for more.
Ambitious I am,
but dedicated I am not,
and I am better off
under the flickering lampposts
dreaming and
thinking
same old, same old.
