Poetry: Boredom

Boredom.

I tend to strike on rainy days,
or when no body's there.
I find you when you least expect,
I have no thought to share.
I have no joy for you at all,
nor have a thing to give.
I want you just existing,
not great-ful that you live.

I leave you feeling overdosed,
on everything you do.
Nothing ever satisfies,
I grow, exhausting you.
I'm warm and fuzzy when you're bored,
it really floats my boat.
To know that you are struggling,
to keep your day afloat.

I'm not a demon or a ghost,
just a state of mind.
Depression is a friend of mine,
we're closely intertwined.
Heartless to the suffering,
I have no thoughts to share.
I tend to strike on rainy days,
or when no body's there.

    Tastes like monotony peanut butter
    Sticking to the roof of my mouth
    Keeping my tongue busy and words adhesive
    Diverting

    television reruns
    the laugh track
    laughs alone

    rain yesterday
    and today
    one raincoat

    sitting at the bus stop
    the second

    BOREDOM

    When time is stagnate and the world is on hold.
    When feelings of anxiousness emanate from the

    DEEP SIGH

    In the middle of the sea, where the skies are gray;

    Marking the calendar, just counting my days.

    Nights are short,
