White Noise

I feel so lost,

I guess I have my friends

I guess I have a few hobbies..

I don't much enjoy life.

Occasional happiness and the even more frequent strife.

I can't distinguish between reality and my dreams at times.

Everything runs together,

All in all it's just white noise,

Everyday I wake up and see how pointless things are.

I look in hindsight and see all the important things I missed out on.

I was never the kind or queen,

Always a pawn.

We get so excited to turn on the T.V.

watch a good show have a few good laughs,

But when you turn it off and find how depressing of an existence you have

That a flickering box is your pride and joy,

Countless hours wasted to never be returned.

They flicker into oblivion.

Thank you, television.

I sit around with my blank thoughts playing nameless sonnets on a piano. I lay down and whisper my troubles into a pillow.

I sit around so constantly looking for a purpose in life.

Maybe there is none,

only white noise.

What a coincidence!
I feel the same like about television.
I was very blessed that the flickering box was out of order for about a month and fake laughs were away for those days.
I think that the purpose in life may be discovered again when the white noise creating device is placed aside and we resort to our own business and natural treasures.
Thanks for sharing a great poem.:)

Thank you very much for the review, and I totally agree. I feel the same way about cellphones too at times. Everyone tends to ignore the richer things in life.

I can totally agree with the line about the tv sometimes I feel like the smallest things that do not matter bring me so much pleasure when I could be out in the world doing something productive. Great Poem and I like your writing style

Thank you for the review. (: and Yes, I can totally agree with that. It seems television absorbs alot of the productivity we could accomplish and it makes me quite upset.

Cynical and depressing -- I've noticed a few of your writes are such -- with a sense of hopelessness and loss when considering our current global situation. "They flicker into oblivion./Thank you, television." These lines alone say it all. A great piece that reflects thoughts I can easily relate too. Keep it up, but don't forget that at the end of the day we are talking monkeys on a flying rock ;)
