A Little More than Stir Crazy

And just a few days into summer, oh dear...

I'm feeling kind of lazy,

and a little more than stir crazy.

I'm becoming quite bored,

something you can't afford

when you're alone so often,

locked away in a coffin.

But I've had a taste

of what many others waste,

of that one that keeps you afloat -

that one you jumped with from the boat.

Something to hold on to

when you organize shoes,

when you stare at the ceiling,

finding it hard to see any meaning.

I'm feeling kind of alone,

yet I look back and see how I've grown -

I know I don't have to drown

though the feeling keeps pushing me down.

Just because I'm on my own

doesn't have to mean I'm alone.

Author's Note

A little more than stir crazy, I think. And thanks to Alexander Fox for giving me the idea to use that as the title.

"I know I don't have to drown

though the feeling keeps pushing me down.

Just because I'm on my own

doesn't have to mean I'm alone."

My favorite lines of the poem, though I've related to all of what's written here.
Nice job. Thank you for sharing

Yup, that's sure as hell how I'm feeling right now. Kind of bored. I'm pretty sure that anyone on summer vacation feels this way... unless they have access to a car or something. You're emphasis on boredom during the summer was all too true. So, I have to say that you did a great job with capturing that emotion in order for that touch of reality! ^^

Excellent job!

"A little more than stir crazy" sounds like a great title to me. I'm sorry that your so pentup at home. getout, see people, get a job, frequent places, go to the library, read all the books.......there are things for you to do.
