Bored.

Poem - ATC

I’m so bored.

Everyone around me is a nincompoop.

And there’s nothing to do.

Whatever I do I’ll get addicted to it… until I get bored.         

 

I’m poor.

Everyone around me is a responsible adult.

I have nothing to do.

Whenever I have money I’ll spend it… until I have no more.

And I'm bored.

I’m drunk.

Everyone around me is also drunk.

It passes the time.

Whenever I am drunk I have sex… or pass out on the floor.

 

I’m sad.

Everyone around me is also sad.

Time passes slowly.

I’m so f*****g bored of life I don’t want it anymore.

sometimes I feel bored, or tired, or just being foolish.... its a quite mixed of sad emotions... I guess it is only natural to feel this way. After all we are humans, being us, we do foolish things, then get tired and bored easily... i guess it is just a matter on how we pick up ourselves and go on with the next thing up ahead, its about the journey we go through... we keep on searching in what to enjoy about life.

very expressive piece!

Thank you for reading Pax :) I read once that as humans it is in our nature to strive for satisfaction, from what I've learnt the most effective way of softening my internal judgmental dialogue is to live life as a good person, this in turn makes me question whether this internal dialogue is my own voice or governed by my early years of development, whatever the answer is I really don't see much that a person can do about it without being alone, see, how can you find company when everyone around you is not quite insane but lets say comfortable in what they feel is normal. It's lonely, tiring and of course it is boring. I wonder if perhaps life would be more satisfying to me if I didn't know quite so much.

i guess that's part of life, we tend to find the person who will understand us, if we haven't found any then we stay away, isolate ourselves, because we though nobody is insane enough to understand us, but in truth there will always be a group of people or someone just as insane as us... right?

and your welcome...

finding and keeping are two challenging cycles makes me dizzy!! still nature will take it's course no matter what power we may presume we possess

Life isn't always fun and frolics. If you accept that 6 days a week you'll be bored with work, with home, with those around you, then on the last day you can go bananas. To be so bored a such a young age would suggest that all is not well within your social group.
this is a very revealing poem. Well written and thought out.
Question: How can one so bored write such a telling piece ?
More like this please.

Wow mad englishman great review thanks!

Nincompoop, that is the operative word, the character in the poem recognizes the short falls but continues the same behavior, go for a walk in the woods , along the beach, along a lake, take a train ride, take a boat ride, dont watch the news, live live live............

[Tinotenda Nyevedzanai]

Yeah but it's boring :)

Boredom is a disease only the sufferer can cure! Well written Kat.

[Tinotenda Nyevedzanai]

Thank you dear :)

The inner struggle I think fought by many people on a daily basis. Your poem hits with a strong clear message that change is sought, but perhaps not knowing quite what or how in this world we live. I can relate to these words, brilliant poem.

[Tinotenda Nyevedzanai]

Thank you tinker i'm currently in france and i'm still bored i suppose there is just no pleasing some people haha

[Tinkerbellje]

Perhaps a good book? Lol

[Tinotenda Nyevedzanai]

Ive got adventures of don quiote with me :D the croissants, wine and cafes also prove to be quite the distraction.

[Tinkerbellje]

I remember being in Paris, just walking around the street artists and musicians. Amazing!

[carrotcruncher]

It was frivolous and fun, then the last verse ended really abruptly and quite sad. Good Poem I just wished it had ended on a happier note. Enjoy your work.

[Tinotenda Nyevedzanai]

Haha yes it does get a bit serious sorry about that, i'm so glad you enjoy my work though what a lovely thing to say thank you :)

[Thoren]

Interesting read. Nice structure used. The content is strongly presented. So I interpret that boredom may lead to suicide? Ouch... Can there be another escape from boredom...

[Tinotenda Nyevedzanai]

Travelling helps :)
