Saturday Night

This is my lonely Saturday night... choosing no fun.

It’s Saturday night 7:26 pm…

I am sitting on my couch all alone.

I’m thinking, deciding on the night.

Do I go out, have fun and live it up?

Or should I sit here and watch Netflix?

Watch, all alone with nothing but a beer….

It sounds depressing but I have no one to share with.

I want to cuddle but I have no partner.

I want to kiss but there’s no woman with me.

I want to feel alive but life is stuck on pause.

What to do, should I sit and wait?

It’s Saturday night, and I am telling a story….

A story of how each night goes, the story of my life.

I guess I’ll choose self-destruction tonight.

Pop open this beer, wrap up this blunt….

Medicate all pains away, clear my mind,

Stare at the t.v. with only a beautiful woman in mind.

I’ll share this moment with no one but myself…

It’s Saturday night, how do the rest of you feel?

The Netflix, the couch, the blunt--the revolving safety blanket prison for the anxious. Wonderful perspective. Fresh in the form, yet so, so familiar. Great write, man, I particularly like the line which includes 'life is stuck on pause', it compliments the scene perfectly.

[AaronFreitas]

haha thanks buddy... it was one of those nights when I wrote it so I'm glad people have liked it and related to it. Appreciate your review :)

[APOORVA]

and you have just nailed it.
wow! such serenic piece

[David Scott]

I think this is how many modern day individuals find themselves... We connect online a bit but tend to have rather solitary lives outside of work.
Relative poetry yet very relatable.
Great work.

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you David... we thrive in our comfort zones :) Thanks for your review :)

[David Scott]

or survive... not sure if it is the same thing... I get your meaning however.

[ExquisiteEyes]

A very relatable poem...we all go through nights that are lonely and disappointing.

[AaronFreitas]

Yes we do and they aren't as fun but we need them sometimes :)

[Pryde Foltz]

Certainly been there … substitute a man for a woman and glass of Rose for a beer. Doesn't matter what you are watching … it sucks. Now I meditate and wonderful things come to me:) A bittersweet share, my friend but very well told:)

[AaronFreitas]

I need to meditate or learn to meditate... it would probably do me some good especially when I am alone. :)

[Pryde Foltz]

Just don't think …no learning involved … just practise

[MissLaine]

It's very entertaining , you capture words that's very relatable to everyone! :)
I'd chill and watch~ haha :) Being lonely shouldn't have to be.. sad.. but I know how this feels..
GO DANCE like no one's watching ;)

[AaronFreitas]

I'll go dance if you'll take my hand and dance with me :) haha... I set this as my featured write since it was that kind of night... should I go out or stay in.... I'm home binge watching shows so if you feel like talking I'm free :) haha I'm not sure where you're from but probably too far to go dancing... and I only dance after a few drinks lol

[MissLaine]

haha awww ;) -takes your hand- ;)
oh? Aww. haha. Well i only suggested dancing cuz its fun? even though i don't think im good at it. LOL. Unless I'm following someone's moves LOL.
-pokes- Whatcha watching? ThE WALKING DEAD?! hehe~

[AaronFreitas]

haha... I will lead then... it might look funky but it will be fun! Unfortunately I am all caught up on The Walking Dead... I love that show! I am watching a show called The Affair... it's getting better I guess. What ya watching?

[MissLaine]

Honestly nothing. I'm just on Youtube listening to music lol. And I'm on here too.

I really enjoyed this!
"Do I go out, have fun and live it up?
Or should I sit here and watch Netflix?"
Those lines I really liked, seeing as I often debate between the two as well!
Tfs! :) x.

[AaronFreitas]

[Kiana]

Netflix is drama free! I agree lol

[AaronFreitas]

[Melanie Stroud]

This is just amazing! It's easily relatable, but with such a creative spin. I love it. ❤️

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you Melanie... I was sure a lot of people could relate to sitting at home watching netflix :)

[Melanie Stroud]

[Irenic]
